A more accurate headline for this report might read:
"UN Humanitarian Chief acknowledges that lack of trucks is the cause of humanitarian crisis in Tigray."

"UN Humanitarian Chief acknowledges that lack of trucks is the cause of humanitarian crisis in Tigray."
reuters.com/world/africa/u…
This is what the bulk of the article is about.
"Griffiths said a lot of trucks go into Tigray and don't come back, compounding the humanitarian problems. He said no fuel trucks had gone into Tigray since late July."
"Griffiths said a lot of trucks go into Tigray and don't come back, compounding the humanitarian problems. He said no fuel trucks had gone into Tigray since late July."
Unfortunately the reluctance by either the UN's ERC/USG Martin Griffiths, or @Reuters to directly address TPLF leadership's clar responsibility for the shortage of trucks remains a problem. Along with the headline.
Martin Griffiths signaled some form of approval of this report through retweeting it from his @UNReliefChief twitter account.

The people @UNReliefChief Martin Griffiths ought to be addressing the instruction to "get the trucks moving" are @WFPChief David Beasley - who seems to have been silent on the subject so far - & @reda_getachew, whose explanation can be seen here.

Late last night @reda_getachew - the TPLF's spokesman - tweeted the report, and echoed @UNReliefChief's counter intuitive assertion that this is somehow the Ethiopian Govt's fault.
