United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Ethiopia's government on Wednesday to allow the world body to deliver humanitarian aid to millions in the country's north "without hindrance."

During a U.N. Security Council meeting, Guterres urged Ethiopia's government to allow "unrestricted movement of desperately needed fuel, cash, communications equipment and humanitarian supplies" into Tigray, Amhara and Afar.
