U.N. hopeful it can restart aid into Ethiopia's Tigray region "in days" - OCHA head

NAIROBI (Reuters) -The United Nations is hopeful it can resume aid deliveries into Ethiopia's war-torn Tigray region "in days" following a truce agreed between combatants, but some remote areas remain off-limits, the head of its humanitarian office (OCHA) for Ethiopia said on Friday.

Ethiopia and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), the party that controls most of the region, agreed on Wednesday a "permanent cessation of hostilities". That followed two years of war that has killed thousands, displaced millions and left half of Tigray's 5.5 million people in severe need of food.
