The United Nations, UN says humanitarian associates have suspended their activities over the ongoing threats of drone strikes’ after dozens were killed in an air attack.
The UN emergency response agency stated that aid organizations have suspended their work in part of Ethiopia’s Tigray region after a deadly air attack on a camp for people displaced by the war.
UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, OCHA in a statement explained that the attack in the town of Dedebit in northwestern Tigray had caused scores of civilian casualties including deaths”, according to its preliminary information.
It was reported that survivors of an air strike by Ethiopian government forces receive treatment at the Shire Shul General hospital
Aid workers and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, TPLF said the attack killed 56 people, adding that it was not possible to independently verify the claims because access to war-hit Tigray is restricted and it remains under a communications blackout.
The conflict erupted in November 2020 between the federal government and the TPLF, which dominated Ethiopian politics for nearly 30 years before Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed came to power in 2018.
