International calls for an immediate cease-fire and peace talks in Ethiopia are growing louder as the conflict escalates. The UN wants a resumption of humanitarian aid in the face of the "staggering" level of need.

The Ethiopian federal government on Tuesday said it has taken control of three towns in the northern Tigray region.

"The ENDF [Ethiopian National Defence Force] has taken control of towns of Shire, Alamata and Korem without fighting in urban areas," a government statement posted to Twitter said.

The Tigrayan forces meanwhile confirmed losing control of the key and populous town of Shire to the federal forces. Tigrayan authorities are now urging citizens in the region to fight back.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the United States and other Western powers, including Germany, have voiced alarm over the worsening violence in Tigray.

Guterres on Tuesday reaffirmed his call for an immediate and unconditional cease-fire and the resumption of humanitarian services.

"The level of need in Ethiopia is staggering. Even before hostilities resumed in August, 13 million people required food and other support across Tigray, Amhara and Afar," Guterres said.
