UN Considering Suspending Relief Operations in Ethiopia's Amhara Region

 Reuters published on 8 October 2024 an article titled "UN Weighs Suspending Relief to Ethiopia's Amhara after Aid Workers Attacked, Document Shows" by Reade Levinson and Giulia Paravicini.

Five aid workers were killed, 10 assaulted, and 11 kidnapped by unidentified criminal gangs in Amhara Region between January and June 2024.  The United Nations is seriously considering a temporary suspension of relief operations in Amhara Region unless the government can guarantee their safety.
