WFP Suspends Food Aid to Sudan

Sudan Events – Rehab Abdullah

The World Food Program (WFP) announced on Thursday that it had temporarily suspended food aid to some areas of Sudan’s Gezira State, amid the expansion of fighting to the south and east of Khartoum.
The WFP said in a statement that about 300,000 people fled Gezira within days, when clashes broke out there last week.
The representative and director of the WFP in Sudan, Eddie Roy, explained that the agency suspended the delivery of food aid in some areas of Gezira that are witnessing battles.
Roy pointed out that the teams are working around the clock to cover the areas where aid can still be provided.
