Ethiopia’s army chief has accused the head of the World Health Organization of procuring weapons for the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which is fighting federal troops.
Hundreds have died in the conflict in Tigray since the beginning of November.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is Tigrayan and was health minister in a previous Ethiopian government, which was led by the TPLF.
He has not yet responded to request from the press for comment.
