Debris from a drone strike in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region hit a World Food Programme truck carrying humanitarian aid and injured the driver, a WFP spokesperson said on Monday. WFP, a United Nations agency, helps coordinate humanitarian assistance to Tigray, where a nearly two-year conflict has killed thousands and left millions in need of aid. “Flying debris from the strike injured a driver contracted by WFP and caused minor damage to a WFP fleet truck,” the spokesperson said. The truck was delivering food to internally displaced people in Tigray, where fighting resumed late last month after a five-month ceasefire.
