UAE lends aid help to Tigray region in Ethiopia amid worsening situation

 The Tigray conflict in Ethiopia is far from ending and at a time like this, people are suffering even to get the most basic facilities for themselves. The UAE has come out strongly to support the people stuck in such vulnerable conditions. 

The United Arab Emirates sent a plane carrying 35 tons of food to the city of Mekelle in the Tigray region of Ethiopia to support the humanitarian situation there. The region, in fact, the whole country, is witnessing one of the worst humanitarian crises with people struggling to get access to food and a room above their heads.

The situation has been going on for two years and the UAE has made sure to provide its continued support to the struggling country. Last year, the UAE sent six planes carrying 246 tons of food items and some other essential things such as 200 tons of vegetable oil. 

The aid was under its World Food Program. Before this help, it had also supported Ethiopia to fight Covid-19 given the disastrous effect the pandemic had on the African nation. The UAE sent 18.5 tons of medical aid as a part of global efforts to curb the surging cases of the virus.
