In Tigray region, Ethiopia, a convoy of medical aid, the first since late August, arrived Tuesday, November 15, 2022, in the capital of Tigray. This follows a peace agreement reached in early November to end the war in the northern Ethiopian region, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said.
The spokesperson for the ICRC in Ethiopia, Jude Fuhnwi said the first ICRC medical supplies have just arrived in Mekele by road. After a five-month truce, the resumption of hostilities at the end of August between the rebel authorities in Tigray and the federal army and its allies interrupted most of the delivery of humanitarian aid. Which is already inadequate to Tigray.
In the ICRC’s statement, two trucks have delivered 40 tonnes of essential medical equipment, emergency medicines, and surgical supplies to health facilities in the region to treat the most urgent cases.
The ICRC hopes to continue these deliveries on a regular basis and significantly increase the humanitarian response in Tigray. Tigray is made up of 6 million inhabitants who have been largely deprived of food and medicines for more than a year.
