Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>The World Health Organization says no food or medicine has reached the Ethiopian region of Tigray despite the signing of a ceasefire last week.<\/p>\n

The United Nations has accused Ethiopia of using starvation as a weapon of war in Tigray, where it says a humanitarian blockade put 90% of the population at risk.<\/p>\n

“Nothing is moving,” said WHO head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.<\/p>\n

“I was expecting food and medicine to start flowing immediately after the ceasefire. That’s not happening.”<\/p>\n

He said people were dying from starvation and treatable diseases.<\/p>\n

Dr Tedros, who comes from Tigray, called for the restoration of telecom, banking and other basic services.<\/p>\n

He said six million people had been shut off from the rest of the world for two years as if they didn’t exist.<\/p>\n

An Ethiopian official said Dr Tedros was trying to undermine the peace agreement – and that food and medicine were reaching Tigray.<\/p>\n

He said electricity and telecom services had been restored in some areas.<\/p>\n
