He is also not really well informed about the current logistical issues.
ICRC is trying to scale up and is currently bringing in about 20 trucks per week (and also airlifting stuff). But there is no fuel in Tigray to transport and distribute the items further and most commercial truck drivers refuse to enter the area.
Ethiopia is also currently experiencing an economic crisis with high inflation and lack of foreign currency which makes it hard to import the needed relief items in high quantities. There is also a lot of local militia still making overland transport a risky endeavor.
But all in all the needs are huge and there is definitely a funding gap to provide the aid needed.

So it is racism still
You mean racism of other Ethiopians towards Tigrayans? Yes, probably.
I think white on black racism is far more prevalent and destructive than that.
