US doubles aid to Tigray
The US said large-scale assistance is urgently needed in order to prevent the humanitarian situation in Tigray from worsening. The area has seen a violent conflict for several months.
The Tigray conflict has forced millions from their homes
The United States said Thursday that it would provide another $152 million (€128 million) to the Tigray region of Ethiopia in the wake of ongoing fighting and potential famine.
The aid will come through the US Agency for International Development (USAID). It will double the amount of funding that the US provides to the Tigray region in the East African nation. The organization said the funds will address life-threatening hunger and acute malnutrition, as well as provide safe drinking water, urgently needed medical and health support, and shelter for some of the estimated one million people who have fled their homes.
