    Ethiopia: UNHCR Calls for Safe Access to Tigray

    The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has called for safe access to Tigray, Ethiopia, to assess the humanitarian situation and provide assistance. The region has been affected by conflict since November 2020, with reports of widespread human rights abuses and a humanitarian crisis. UNHCR's call comes as the Ethiopian government has been blocking humanitarian access to the region, with only a limited number of aid workers able to enter. The situation in Tigray has been described as 'catastrophic' by aid agencies, with millions of people in need of assistance.
