Aid Convoy Reaches Sudan Capital Region After Weeks of Conflict
ai generated text
Aid shipments have arrived in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, after 20 months of conflict. The shipments included trucks with food aid from the World Food Programme, as well as medical supplies and malnutrition kits from Unicef and MSF.
Both Mayo and Alingaz are 'risk of famine' areas. Jebel Aulia has endured intense fighting through the conflict.
Here in Khartoum, [we are in] desperate need of this aid. We've been waiting for it and we've been trying so many ways and methods to go around this, but the only way to help reduce the famine effect in Khartoum right now, is to receive this aid.
There were tears, tears of laughter and joy and tears of a lot of effort and exhaustion from arranging this... it was quite a moment.
Since the beginning of the conflict, what we've seen is a real pattern by the warring parties to deliberately block, divert or restrict access to life-saving aid. This is absolutely wonderful that there was a convoy, but many are more needed.
