Currently the only way to get life-saving humanitarian supplies to #Tigray is by air. The Govt is not facilitating movement of humanitarian trucks by road. With @USAID support, @WFP_UNHAS added a 2nd plane to its operations in Tigray to transport more aid to those in need. (1/3) 
The add’l plane increases cargo capacity from about 40 metric tons of aid per week to nearly 200! @WFP_UNHAS has now transported 210 MT of aid to #Mekele. Proud to support this improvement, but it’s not enough… (2/3)
200 metric tons is only about 5 truckloads of supplies & the humanitarian response in #Tigray needs 500+ trucks of supplies weekly. The Govt must facilitate unhindered access for aid trucks–it’s the only way to meet the scale of needs.
