Ethiopia and UN reach deal on aid supply to Tigray

The UN and Ethiopia have agreed to allow aid into the country’s conflict-torn Tigray region.

UN spokesman, Saviano Abreu said an assessment mission has begun.

There has been no word so far from the Ethiopian government.

Food and medicines are said to be running out for millions of people.

Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed in the month-long fighting between the federal army and the Tigray people’s liberation front.

The conflict has displaced tens of thousands of people, and sent a wave of refugees fleeing into Sudan.
