It has been described as the world’s worst hunger crisis in a decade, and there are concerns that the situation in Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray will worsen. The United Nations has suspended all humanitarian flights to the region’s capital, Mekelle. After 11 months of conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, millions of people are displaced, and nearly half a million are facing famine-like conditions. The question now is how aid agencies can alleviate the crisis.
