EXPOSING BIAS: Ethiopia gov't accuses UN of ignoring Tigray rebel destruction
Ethiopia has accused the United Nations' human rights commission, Unesco and the World Health Organization (WHO) of overlooking destruction in areas in the northern parts of the country, that were recently recaptured by the army and allied forces from Tigray rebels.
It said the UN agencies were silent about alleged abuses and the destruction of schools and health facilities.
Thousands of health facilities have been destroyed, Deputy Communication Minister Kebede Desissa told journalists in Addis Ababa on Wednesday.
The BBC has not been able to independently confirm the allegations and the UN has not yet reacted to the accusations.
Addis Ababa’s relations with the UN have been fraught since the beginning of the conflict in November last year, which started in the country's northern region of Tigray.
The war has unleashed a massive humanitarian crisis, and as fighting expanded to the neighbouring regions of Afar and Amhara, so has the tragedy and destruction.
