Since November 2020, fighting has killed thousands and displaced millions leaving Ethiopia's Tigray region in the grip of a severe humanitarian crisis.
Fighters in the northern Ethiopian region say forces from both countries have begun a "massive" attack on their positions. Fighting in the nearly two-year conflict resumed last week after a monthslong lull.
Security analysts say strong global action is needed after fighting resumed in northern Ethiopia between government forces and Tigray rebels scuppering a truce and dimming hopes for peace.
The government in Addis Ababa has said Tigrayan rebels launched an offensive after Tigrayan rebels said the opposite. One thing is clear, though: a months-old cease fire has ruptured, and fighting has resumed.
