The U.N. World Food Program says its warehouses in a rebel-held town in the Amhara region have been looted.

A spokeswoman for the World Food Program, Tomson Phiri, told reporters in Geneva that the WFP’s warehouses in Kombolcha, a town which is currently under the control of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), have been ransacked and looted.

The spokesman said that the WFP was granted access to the humanitarian warehouses in Kombolcha last week and “initial assessments revealed damaged equipment, vandalized storage units, and substantial amounts of food looted from the facilities.”

The spokesman did not indicate when the vandalism took place or who might be responsible. TPLF militants took control of Kombolcha and Dessie three weeks ago.

Getachew Reda told CNN’s Becky Anderson two weeks ago that TPLF forces secured aid warehouses with large stocks in Kombolcha and promised full support to UN and agencies as he invited them to distribute.”When we took Kombolcha last week, we communicated our intentions to the UN authorities for them to take over operations. We were not particularly interested in taking over warehouses of 17 thousand metres of food. The easiest thing for us would be to carry out operations to help our own people but we communicated to the UN and we have been communicating this to the UN authorities, including Under-Secretary-General (for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator), Martin Griffiths himself,” he said.

In August, USAID accused the TPLF forces of looting warehouses belonging to the U.S. government’s humanitarian agency in the Amhara region.
