Ethiopia Launched Attacks Against Tigray Amid Mounting Humanitarian Disaster

HeadlineOct 13, 2021

Tigray forces say the Ethiopian government has launched massive, coordinated military assaults across the region in an attempt to end the year-long war. The latest round of attacks violates a ceasefire that was declared by Ethiopia’s government in June. The United Nations recently said more than 5 million people in the Tigray region are now in need of humanitarian assistance in order to survive, but that Ethiopia’s government is blocking the movement of medicine, food and fuel into Tigray.
