Tigrayan forces say they are withdrawing from Ethiopia’s Afar region
Fighting in northern Ethiopia has eased since the federal government declared a unilateral ceasefire last month, saying it would allow humanitarian aid to enter.Tigrayan forces said they would respect the ceasefire as long as sufficient aid was delivered to their region “within reasonable time.”In terms of Tigray, only a trickle of aid has made it in. Some 90% of the population needs food aid there, since the Ethiopian military pulled out at the end of June after months of bloody clashes.Since its start, the conflict has killed thousands and displaced millions as it spread to neighboring areas.CNN has reached out to Ethiopian government officials for comment. The United Nations has blamed bureaucracy and insecurity for blocking convoys and said at least 100 trucks of aid are needed to enter Tigray every day.Since the ceasefire, only 144 trucks have made it in, with the latest 74 arriving on Monday, according to the United Nations World Food Program.
