Further, two million people are classed as on the brink of a \u201csevere crisis\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethiopia has rejected the claim by the UN\u2019s humanitarian chief, Mark Lowcock, that there is a famine in parts of the north of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It insists that humanitarian access is being expanded as it restores order across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US and European Union have jointly urged all warring parties to agree to a ceasefire to allow aid to reach millions in dire need and to prevent large-scale famine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Ethiopian government says Eritrean troops who have been involved in the conflict, have started withdrawing from the Tigray region following months of international pressure calling on them to leave the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: BBC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-dailymotion wp-block-embed-dailymotion\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/dai.ly\/x81wj5q\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 33,000 severely malnourished children in the Tigray region of Ethiopia are at high risk of death, the UN children\u2019s agency Unicef has warned.
