Nearly 18 million people across Sudan suffer from acute hunger. More than 5 million people face emergency levels of hunger in areas most affected by the conflict.
The World Food Program said it was able to deliver aid to only one in 10 people in those areas. The program called on both parties to the war in Sudan to provide immediate and urgent guarantees for the unhindered delivery of humanitarian food aid to areas affected by conflict.. About 70 trucks were stuck in Port Sudan for more than two weeks, and about 31 other trucks in the city of El Obeid for over 3 months.
