Relief Aid Arrives in Embattled Tigray Region

VOA News

   The first shipment of international aid since fighting began arrived in
   Ethiopia's northern Tigray region Saturday to help people affected by
   violence there.

   A convoy carrying medicine and relief supplies from the International
   Committee of the Red Cross and the Ethiopian Red Cross Society reached
   the province one day after the United Nations voiced alarm over the
   forced return of Eritrean refugees to camps they had fled.

   The convoy was planned with the help of Ethiopian government
   authorities.
