NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Thursday pushed for the U.N. Security Council to meet publicly on Ethiopia’s conflict-torn Tigray region, where hundreds of thousands of people are in famine conditions.
She also told a virtual event on Tigray, organized by the United States and the European Union, that it’s “time for the Ethiopian government to respond responsibly to requests for humanitarian access.”
