An aid group says a key bridge in Ethiopia’s Tigray region has been destroyed, further hampering efforts to deliver assistance to hundreds of thousands of desperate people.
The International Rescue Committee said the bridge over the River Tekeze near the town of Shire was down.
Humanitarian agencies are also facing the challenge of electricity, phone and internet lines being cut.
Rebel forces have been gaining ground in Tigray since seizing the regional capital, Mekelle, on Monday.
A spokesman for the foreign ministry, Dina Mufti, said the rebels needed to abide by a ceasefire declared unilaterally by the government earlier this week.
