The African Union Commission has agreed to facilitate unhindered humanitarian access to all in need of assistance in Tigray People's Liberation Front and neighbouring regions.
This follows AU Commission chairperson, Moussa Faki's call for an end to the hostilities in Ethiopia.
"The Chairperson calls for the immediate cessation of hostilities, the full respect for the life and property of civilians, as well as state infrastructure," the statement said.
The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), which has been fighting Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government for a year, had claimed significant territorial gains in recent days.
TPLF had alleged control of two key cities in Amhara, about 400 kilometres (250 miles) north of Addis Ababa.
The government denied claims of TPLF territorial gains.
In a statement, the commission said that it will facilitate the unhindered movement of humanitarian aid workers.
"The parties have agreed to provide security for humanitarian aid workers and organisations as well as protection of civilians consistent with the provisions of the agreement," the statement read.
The commission also encouraged the team to continue towards the full implementation of the cessation of hostility agreement as part of overall efforts to end the conflicts and restore peace, security and stability in Ethiopia.
The meeting was facilitated by AU High Representative for Horn of Africa and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, and former President Uhuru Kenyatta among other AU High-level panel members.
