The in-kind donation – part of the Grain from Ukraine humanitarian initiative launched by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy – arrived in the coastal city of Port Sudan and was loaded onto WFP trucks for emergency food distribution.
The UN agency is working around the clock to urgently deliver critical food assistance to families who are struggling with skyrocketing food insecurity as fighting between rival military forces in Sudan enters the 10th month.
“The humanitarian situation in Sudan is catastrophic, but we need to act now to stop it from spiralling further out of control,” Eddie Rowe, WFP’s Country Director in Sudan, said in a statement on Wednesday.
