The United Nations still cannot get unfettered access to bring humanitarian aid into Ethiopia's war-torn northern Tigray

UN anxious for unfettered aid access to Tigray


The United Nations still cannot get unfettered access to bring humanitarian aid into Ethiopia's war-torn northern Tigray region, one month after the ceasefire, the World Health Organization said Friday.

The UN's health agency said just a trickle of aid had managed to get into Tigray, which is in the grip of a humanitarian crisis after a two-year conflict.

Restoring aid deliveries to Tigray was a key part of an agreement signed on November 2 to end a war that has killed untold numbers of people.

"That peace process has not yet resulted in the kinds of full access, unfettered access and the massive scale-up of medical and health assistance that the people of Tigray need," WHO emergencies chief Michael Ryan told a press conference.

"I remain cynical on that front because we've been a long time waiting to get access to these desperate people."

Tigray was isolated from the world for over a year, and faced severe shortages of medicines and limited access to electricity, banking and communications -- services that need restoring for relief logistics operations to function.

"It's really hard to plan a scale-up when at every moment you can have your ambitions curtailed," Ryan lamented.

"The UN system is really anxious to scale up our operations.

"We welcome any cessation of violence, any access that's given.

"But the people in Tigray are desperate. They've been years now without access to proper healthcare and nutrition and they need our help now. Not next week, not next month. Now."

He said some WHO staff had been able to go in, while a small fuel allocation might allow the organisation to service a tiny percentage of the needs in the region.

Are you sure the “massacre” was committed by Ethiopian soldiers not Eritrean soldiers? They may have to rewrite the “report” to read Eritrean soldiers massacre prisoners.

Do you think the Ethiopians did it?

ከአሁን በሃላ ማንኛውም እርዳታ በኢትዮጵያ መንግስት አቀነባባሪነት ነው የሚካሄደው። የ WHO ህወሓት ካድሪ ያንን ቢገነዘብ ጥሩ ይመስለኛል።

ወንድሜ ሳም፤ የኢትዮጵያ መንግስት ጥሩ ነገር ቢያቀናብር የሚጠላ ባይሆንም፤ ግዳጁ expedite እንዲያደርግ / እንዲያፋጥን ተስማምቷል። ሁለታችን የአማርኛ ኣስተማሪዎች ባንሆንም ማፋጠንና ማቀናበር አንድ እንዳልሆኑ እንደምንስማማ እርግጠኛ ነኝ።

Article 5.1) The Government of FDRE shall expedite the provision of humanitarian aid in collaboration with humanitarian aid agencies [such as WHO]. . .

expedite/ˈɛkspɪdʌɪt/verb
make (an action or process) happen sooner or be accomplished more quickly.
"he promised to expedite economic reforms"
Similar:
speed up, accelerate, hurry, hasten, step up, quicken, precipitate



I guess you need to bring yourself up-to-date with current events.

It doesn’t matter who did it or not nor whether the report is true or not, but by just blaming Eritreans all wicked deeds on them, you probably get sympathy from your masters more. As this stage, blaming the Ethiopians may fall on dead ear. :lol:
