NAIROBI, 17 November 2022, (TON): Fifteen trucks carrying food aid entered Ethiopia’s Tigray region, the United Nations’s food agency said, as humanitarian groups gain access for the first time since a cease-fire agreement was signed two weeks ago.

The convoy entered Tigray through the neighboring region of Amhara using a route that had not been viable since mid-2021, the UN’s World Food Programme said, when a bridge on the Tekeze river was destroyed.

“WFP convoy just entered North West Tigray via Gondar corridor for first time since June 2021,” WFP said in a tweet, adding that more food as well as medical aid was expected to enter the region via “all routes possible.”
