Ethiopia crisis: Deaths from starvation in Tigray after aid halted

The UN's World Food Programme and the top US aid agency suspended aid about four months ago.

 A Tigrayan official revealed that nearly 500 individuals were implicated in the theft after a subsequent investigation. Tigray had experienced a severe conflict in 2020, resulting in conditions akin to famine.
