The head of the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said on Sunday, he hoped humanitarian access to Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region would be granted soon by the Ethiopian authorities.
Thousands of people are believed to have been killed and nearly 44,000 have fled to Sudan since the fighting in Tigray began on November 4.
Details about the situation in the conflict zone have been difficult to obtain as phone and internet links to Tigray have been down and access tightly controlled since the fighting began.
