If aid is to reach people in need in #Tigray, then ALL parties must end hostilities.

There is no military solution to this conflict. 1/3
The US is calling on:

* The TPLF to withdraw its forces immediately from the Amhara and Afar regions.

* The Amhara regional government to withdraw its forces from western Tigray.

* The Eritrean government to withdraw its forces immediately and permanently from Ethiopia. 2/3
All parties should accelerate unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance to those affected by the conflict, and the commercial blockade of Tigray must end. 3/3

Moving to visit the Um Rakuba camp in Eastern #Sudan, which hosts thousands of refugees who escaped conflict in #Tigray.
I heard wrenching testimony from women refugees whose villages were raided by militia. Some saw loved ones executed, some were subjected to sexual assault, and nearly all crossed the border into #Sudan with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
The US is working with @UNFPA to support these women, including by funding critical medical supplies & safe spaces for their care. Overall we're assisting more than 46,000 people sheltering in camps in Eastern Sudan, along with UN @Refugees, NGOs, & the Sudanese govt.
