Sudan Events – Follow-ups
The Federal Humanitarian Aid Commission refuted the statement by the U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan, Tom Perriello, regarding the Commission preventing the delivery of emergency relief to those in need and blocking 520 out of 550 humanitarian aid trucks from leaving Port Sudan.
The Commission said: “These allegations from Birello come as part of an organized campaign targeting the efforts led by the Humanitarian Aid Commission to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance, based on its professional and ethical responsibility towards those in need and affected by the war, which has created critical humanitarian conditions.” Therefore, the Commission strongly denies and rejects Mr. Biriello’s statements, as it would have been more appropriate for him to be realistic and courageous by directing the attack and condemnation towards the rebellious Rapid Support Forces militia, which is looting, detaining, and depriving them of food and medicine.
The Humanitarian Aid Commission expressed its deep astonishment and condemnation of Beryillo’s statements, stating that they are unfounded.
She added: “While the Humanitarian Aid Commission condemns these accusations, it clarifies that from January 1 to November 6, 2024, it granted (12,170) movement permits to organizations and agencies, allowed (1,073) trucks to enter through the Adre and Tine crossings, and approved the movement of (10,705) trucks through various internal crossings and routes.” It also approved (2985) entry visas for foreign humanitarian workers, and the total amounts provided by the government in the form of customs and tax exemptions, relief transportation, and material purchases exceeded six hundred million dollars.
