NORTH DAKOTA: United States Aid for International Development chief Samantha Power said on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) only 10 percent of required humanitarian aid was reaching Ethiopia's war-hit Tigray Region as access remained hobbled by security woes and bureaucratic hurdles. Her comments painted a stark picture of what she described as an 'alarming humanitarian catastrophe' in the northern region nine months after fighting broke out between rebels and troops loyal to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, winner of the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.
