Ethiopia Launched Attacks Against Tigray Amid Mounting Humanitarian Disaster
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tigray forces say the Ethiopian government has launched massive,
coordinated military assaults across the region in an attempt to end the
year-long war. The latest round of attacks violates a ceasefire that was
declared by Ethiopia's government in June. The United Nations recently
said more than 5 million people in the Tigray region are now in need of
humanitarian assistance in order to survive, but that Ethiopia's
government is blocking the movement of medicine, food and fuel into
Tigray.
