<p>The humanitarian situation in Tigray is concerning, with 4.5 million people in
desperate need. Both publicly and in our engagements with our Ethiopian counterparts,
the Foreign Secretary and I [Minister Duddridge] have consistently called for greater
humanitarian access, as has the UK Ambassador in Addis Ababa. The lack of telephone
and internet services is yet another challenge for humanitarian efforts and it should
be restored. We also need to see improvements to security for humanitarian workers,
the restoration of communications and banking services in Tigray, and the departure
of Eritrean troops in line with PM Abiy's commitment of 26 March.</p>
