Aid convoy enters area controlled by Tigray forces in Ethiopia: World Food Programme
(FILES) In this file photo taken on September 15, 2021 Men carry a sack of wheat during a food distribution by the World Food Programme (WFP) for internally displaced people (IDP) in Debark, 90 kilometres of the city of Gondar, Ethiopia. - The first international aid convoy in three months will soon enter Ethiopia's war-stricken Tigray region, the UN said on April 1, 2022, one week after the government and Tigrayan rebels agreed to a conditional truce. The arrival of aid in Tigray, where hundreds of thousands of people face starvation, could help shore up the shaky ceasefire between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). Abiy's government last week declared an indefinite humanitarian truce in the 17-month conflict, with the TPLF agreeing to a "cessation of hostilities" if aid arrives in Tigray.
