The United States and the World Food Programme suspend food aid to the Tigray region. This is because part of this aid has been "diverted and sold on the local market" The amount of food aid involved was not specified, but the United States is the largest humanitarian contributor to Ethiopia.

The U.S. government has raised the case with Ethiopian authorities as well as local authorities in Tigray who "have expressed their willingness to work with us to identify those responsible and hold them accountable"
