A truce declared last week by Ethiopia to allow the delivery of aid to the northern Tigray region has offered some hope that the 17-month civil war there could be coming to an end.
The region has been totally cut off for many months, leaving millions in desperate need of food and essential supplies. A resident of Tigray’s capital, Mekelle, which is under the control of the TPLF rebels, has managed to tell the BBC what life is like.
