The U.S., Canada and several European nations called for a cease-fire in Ethiopia’s Tigray region in order to avoid the risk of famine after months of conflict.
“The U.S. calls for a cessation of hostilities by all conflict parties and unfettered humanitarian access so that aid can flow and famine can be averted,” the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia said on Twitter on Wednesday.
