Bodies washing up in Sudan are a horrific sign Ethiopia’s war will only worsen

Ethiopia’s government certainly has not spent the past month of “cease-fire” pursuing humanitarian aims. It imposed an aid blockade around Tigray, where over 90 percent of the population requires emergency food assistance after government forces burned crops, killed livestock and stole seeds to decimate the agricultural region. This starvation campaign has caused the world’s worst hunger crisis in a decade: Some 900,000 people face famine conditions, including 100,000 children at risk of death. Scores have already succumbed to starvation. Some food trucks squeak through, but, the United Nations warns, not nearly enough.
