The second flight of the EU Humanitarian Air Bridge to Tigray landed in Mekelle airport on October 06, 2021. It has delivered an additional 10.6 tonnes of life-saving cargo for the people affected by the conflict in Tigray, Ethiopia.
About 4.4 tonnes of ready-to-use therapeutic food for severely malnourished children was delivered to UNICEF as part of the EU's Humanitarian Air Bridge on September 11, 2021.
The two Humanitarian Air Bridge flights are the only humanitarian cargo deliveries by air to have arrived in Tigray since the beginning of the conflict. With the spreading of the conflict into neighboring regions, people in need of urgent assistance are also increasing in Afar and Amhara.
