HOLYROOD funding is to help three Scots charities deliver urgent humanitarian relief to thousands of people left without homes and food by turmoil in northern Ethiopia, it has been announced. Fighting has been raging in the rural Tigray region since November, driving thousands of people from their homes and into destitution. More than 1.3 million people now need urgent aid as conflict continues between Ethiopian government forces and the Tigray People s Liberation Front. Tens of thousands of people have fled into neighbouring Sudan, with access to food and hygiene increasingly difficult in Tigray, where internet and phone lines were cut. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said the localised war was over in the same month it began.
