Ethiopia Insight published on 11 August 2022 a commentary titled "Ethiopian Officials Admit Using a Biafra-like Siege to Starve Tigray" by Jan Nyssen, Ghent University in Belgium.
The author argues that it was the policy of the Ethiopian central government to starve into submission the population of Tigray Region.
The UNOCHA published on 5 August 2022 its "Situation Report for Ethiopia." It suggests the food security situation in Tigray Region has improved somewhat compared to the report cited above. It also notes the situation in Afar Region is dire and other parts of Ethiopia are experiencing significant food security problems.
