Geneva [Switzerland], November 27: Trucks from the World Food Programme (WFP) successfully delivered food aid to the Zamzam camp in North Darfur for the first time on Friday.
Leni Kinzley, WFP spokesperson in Sudan, stated in a video conference today in Geneva that the entry of these trucks into the camp marks a crucial step in the programme's efforts to reach isolated conflict areas in Sudan.
She added that over 700 WFP trucks, carrying a total of 17,500 tonnes of food aid, are currently en route to various regions of Sudan. This aid will feed approximately 1.5 million people for one month.
Since September, the WFP has been providing monthly food assistance to around 2 million people across Sudan, totalling more than 7 million people this year alone.
