Sudan food aid cannot reach 250,000

NEARLY a quarter of a million people in Sudan’s Darfur region cannot access UN food rations due to fighting, the World Food Programme said yesterday.

Sudan food aid cannot reach 250,000

The United Nations food agency, which aims to reach three million people in the violent region each month, delivered food to about 2.8 million people in September, a spokeswoman said.

This meant that about 224,000 people in Darfur, most of them in the north of the region, remained cut-off from WFP rations, although this was an improvement over past months, WFP spokeswoman Christiane Berthiaume said.
