Ethiopia's Tigray crisis: Abiy Ahmed denies reports of hunger


[Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has
denied that there is hunger in the
country's war-torn Tigray region.
Speaking at a polling station on the day of the
country's general election,
Mr Abiy admitted there was a problem but
said the government could fix it.
The fighting, which the UN says has left five
million people in need of food aid,
is now in its eighth month.

More than 350,000 of them are living in
famine conditions in Tigray, according
to a recent UN-backed estimate.

"There is no hunger in Tigray," Mr Abiy told the
BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga after he had voted.
"There is a problem and the government
is capable of fixing that."]



['Nothing to eat'

People in Qafta Humera, an isolated district
in the west of Tigray,
told the BBC earlier this month that they
were on the verge of starvation.
"We don't have anything to eat," one man said by phone,
explaining their crops and livestock had
been looted during months of war.

The conflict, which began in November last year,
has forced hundreds of thousands
to flee their homes and disrupted agriculture.]
