U.N.: Tigray Region of Ethiopia Facing World's Worst Famine in a Decade
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations and international aid groups warn that Ethiopians in
the war-ravaged Tigray region are facing the world's worst famine in a
decade, with 350,000 people facing catastrophic conditions and millions
more suffering from acute food shortages. The United Nations is urging
the Ethiopian government to allow more humanitarian aid into Tigray,
which the Ethiopian military invaded last year with support from
Eritrea.
