Addis Abeba, May 14/2021 – The European Union said humanitarian aid blockades by military forces in Tigray “are severely impeding the ability for assistance to reach rural areas, where the humanitarian crisis is at the worst level,” and warns “those responsible for deliberately preventing timely access will be held to account.”
