Darfur Governor Minni Minawi said that an agreement was made with the United Nations (UN) and other humanitarian agencies in the region to facilitate the transport of humanitarian aid from Port Sudan to Darfur. Displaced camp residents in Central and South Darfur report a distressing rise in malnutrition-related fatalities among children and the elderly over the past week.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, the governor of Darfur announced on X<\/a> (formerly Twitter) an agreement with the UN to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid<\/a> from Port Sudan, the capital of Red Sea state, to El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, via El Debba road,after the Darfur Joint Forces stopped securing aid convoys<\/a> between the two state capitals in late February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a briefing after the meeting, which was held at the Coral Hotel in Port Sudan, Minawi told reporters that humanitarian aid from neighbouring countries will be delivered via the Tine border crossing with Chad, adding he “will work to address the concerns of all governmental and international organisations to provide assistance to Sudanese in need”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported by Radio Dabanga, Sudanese authorities had designated several border crossings<\/a> for aid delivery to Darfur, including El Tina on the border with Chad, Renk in South Sudan, and airports in El Fasher, El Obeid, and Kadugli. Authorities refused to utilise the Adr\u00e9 crossing with Chad to transport aid, citing concerns over the alleged use of the crossing to smuggle weapons for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sudanese Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Salma Adam announced this week that 60 aid trucks<\/a> were nonetheless cleared to enter El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur, through the Adr\u00e9 crossing. However, volunteer activists in West and Central Darfur voiced concerns over the difficulty of aid reaching Darfur via El Tina or El Fasher, pointing to restrictions on aid entry<\/a> similar to those at the Adr\u00e9-El Geneina crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Famine threat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, Minawi expressed grave concerns about the looming threat of famine<\/a> in the region, \u201cparticularly as the summer season commences\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to international assertions<\/a> regarding the threat of famine in Sudan<\/a>, the Sudanese Humanitarian Affairs Commissioner<\/a> refuted such claims. \u201cSudan has not yet reached the famine stage\u201d, Awad told attendees, instead attributing the current humanitarian challenges to \u201cthe ongoing warfare conditions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
