BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ethiopia: UN warns of aid crisis in Tigray

The UN says only ten percent of the required aid is reaching Tigray

The United Nations says a de facto blockade means that only ten percent of the aid needed for the Ethiopian region of Tigray is getting through.  Hundreds of thousands of people are at risk of famine. Our reporter in Ethiopia explains what's been happening. 

During the pandemic airlines have reported thousands of cases of unruly passengers, who often protest Covid rules like mask mandate. We hear experiences of three flight attendants in the US, Nigeria and Spain who are dealing with passengers onboard.

Chile has taken first steps towards decriminalizing abortion.  We'll look at the reaction and abortion rights across Latin America.

And in football, FC Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova has pulled off one of the biggest Champions League shocks of all time, beating 13-time European champions Real Madrid. We'll speak to a Moldovan fan.
