What happens with the limited volumes of food aid that are sent to Tigray?

Testimonies on aid to the war-affected Tigray &

Shire: 7 kg of wheat were required to sign for 15 kg. If they refused to sign for 15 kg they were denied the 7 kg

IDPs in Shire: Currently around 80 000 displaced Tigrayans in Shire, spread across three different schools
Addi Da’iro: “Residents were denied food aid after the inhabitants refused to appoint PP officials as administrators. The residents demanded the evacuation of Eritrean soldiers instead.”
Aksum: "I heard there have been food aid of 15 kg of grain per family, and only once. Neither I, nor my relatives have received aid. No idea about how many families received that 15 kg of food aid. How many days would that last? Who takes the rest? Of course, the Eritreans?”
Adwa: “Last time, they made us sign 15 kg while giving only 7 kg”.
Adigrat: “They registered us four times saying they will give aid but none was given. We think that the people who register us are taking the grain for themselves and resell it.”
HagereSelam: "Aid interrupted for unknown reasons. Aid was brought by REST. It was distributed by the appointed district adminr, under supervision of army. The new adminr is not dedicated at all, he is afraid of the situation. We do not like him cause he works with the soldiers.”
Mekelle: “Some people that I know received food aid and they only got 8 kg of wheat and expired corn flour, the so-called fafa.”
Rural areas, away from the road: neither aid reaches to the rural areas nor they call the people from the rural areas to collect it in town.
