Only 14% of the 3.2 million people targeted for food aid in Ethiopia's Tigray region have received it, according to an aid memo seen by The Associated Press. The Tigray Food Cluster, co-chaired by the UN's World Food Program and Ethiopian officials, has urged humanitarian groups to urgently scale up their operations to avoid severe food insecurity and malnutrition. Food aid to Tigray was paused in March 2022 due to theft, but was resumed in December with new reforms. However, technical issues and lack of funds have hindered the distribution process, leaving many people without food aid for over a year.
