Ethiopia: State-Owned Electric Company Says Tigray's Capital Mekelle Reconnected

Ethiopian Electric Power spokesman Moges Mekonen told VOA's Tigrigna Service that work was underway to repair damaged power lines in eight other areas of the Tigray region. The director of Mekelle's flagship Ayder Hospital, Kibrom Gebreselassie, told VOA on Wednesday that power has resumed in Mekelle. Residents who spoke to the BBC also confirmed that they are enjoying the"full resumption of electricity.

Aid workers say the lack of services has worsened the humanitarian crisis in Tigray, where 90% of the 6 million population need aid. The World Health Organization said Friday it still does not have"unfettered access" to deliver medical supplies to Tigray.
