Footage of war-hit northern Ethiopia published by the U.N. World Food Programme (WFP) on Monday reflected the severe humanitarian crisis there, after the United Nations warned that a de facto blockade on aid is bringing millions to the brink of famine.
War broke out 10 months ago between Ethiopia's federal troops and forces loyal to the Tigray People's Liberation Front , which controls the Tigray region. Thousands have died and more than two million people have been forced to flee their homes.
The footage showed a distribution of emergency food aid by the WFP on August 23 in Asgede district in northwestern Tigray. Sacks of grain were loaded on camels and brought to the remote area, where many residents were cut off from outside assistance during months of war. “We don’t have any food stocks at the moment to plan with or to distribute," said Satyen Tait, a staff member from WFP's Ethiopia operation.
