In war-torn Tigray, more than 350,000 people already face famine, according to the UN and other humanitarian groups. It is not just that people are starving; it is that many are being starved, The Associated Press found.
The United Nations and aid groups are warning that 350,000 people in Ethiopia's war-torn Tigray region are suffering from famine. Millions more are in urgent need of food and assistance, UN agencies also say, but aid deliveries are difficult and dangerous.
The estimate was presented at a meeting of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, comprising 18 UN and non-UN organisations that is chaired by UN humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock.
