Sharjah24 – AFP: WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the humanitarian situation in Tigray "remains catastrophic" and calls on the international community to give it "the right attention".
Commenting on this, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO chief stated, "The humanitarian situation in Tigray remains catastrophic. As I have said before, the siege of six million people by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world."
Tedros Adhanom added, "Since the beginning of the siege, food, medicine and other basic services have been weaponised. It has now been more than two months since the last humanitarian aid reached Tigray. But even before that, the aid reaching Tigray was a trickle – nowhere near enough to meet the needs."
The WHO chief continued, "WHO continues to call for unfettered humanitarian access for the millions of people who are in dire need. And we continue to call on the international community to give the crisis in Tigray the right attention."
