The World Health Organization's chief said on Friday his home Tigray region in northern Ethiopia was being subjected to a 'systematic' blockade and people were dying because of a lack of supplies.

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus attends a ceremony to launch a multiyear partnership with Qatar on making FIFA Football World Cup 2022 and mega sporting events healthy and safe at the WHO headquarters, in Geneva, Switzerland, October 18, 2021.

Government spokesperson Legesse Tulu did not immediately respond to a request for a comment on Tedros's statement on Friday. War broke out in November 2020 between Ethiopian federal troops and forces loyal to the Tigray People's Liberation Front , the ruling party of Tigray. Thousands have been killed in the conflict, which has since spread into two neighbouring regions in northern Ethiopia.

No U.N.-organised humanitarian supplies have entered Tigray for more than three weeks, the U.N. said on Thursday, adding some 364 trucks are waiting in a neighbouring region, pending authorization from authorities to proceed.
