Caritas Internationalis issued a heartfelt appeal on Tuesday to aid agencies asking them to resume the recently-suspended food aid to Ethiopia’s Tigray region.

The statement explains that the food aid was suspended on 30 March 2023 in the Tigray region after “widespread and systemic” diversion of large amounts of food meant for hungry people was discovered. The pause was extended to the entire Ethiopian territory in early June.

Theft and corruption in food aid must not be tolerated, and the people responsible should be held to account. Also, Abune Mathias, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, stresses how suspending this vital support is resulting in severe suffering of people due to hunger.
