UN agencies, including @WFP, spoke to @POLITICOEurope  journalists in Brussels today ahead of the Senior Officials’ Meeting on #Sudan.
With #EU support, we need faster access, stronger funding, and sustained diplomacy to save lives.

Today marks 1000 days since the beginning of conflict in #Sudan.

WFP’s Samuel Clendon on the urgency of safe passage in #Sudan and the resources needed in the months ahead. 👇

[World Food Programme @WFP]

In #Sudan, escaping besieged areas does not mean safety. Families are reaching places already overwhelmed - sleeping in makeshift shelters with minimal aid.

WFP's Ross Smith warns needs in North Darfur and Kadugli are outpacing resources. ⤵️

[WFP Sudan @WFP_Sudan]

Families reaching this camp near El Fasher arrive exhausted and hungry.

WFP’s @FaithAwino3 explains how WFP is rushing emergency food and nutrition support to over half a million people and scaling up help to surrounding areas.

[Sarah Gordon-Gibson @SGordonGibson]

Thank you, Corinne Fleischer, @WFP's Director of Supply Chain & Delivery for visiting Chad where WFP has one of its largest logistics operations, serving millions of beneficiaries both in Chad & Sudan.

[WFP Sudan @WFP_Sudan]

We welcome the decision for the Adre border to remain open until end of 2025.

This is a crucial humanitarian corridor into Darfur and Kordofan, where communities face extreme levels of hunger.

WFP has been able to deliver food & nutrition aid to millions via this route.

[WFP Sudan @WFP_Sudan]

Crisis on top of crisis in Sudan after a devastating landslide in Jebel Marra, #Darfur.

WFP is doing everything possible to send aid, but the area is largely cut off by floods.

Across #Sudan, heavy rains and flooding are making it even harder to deliver vital supplies.

[UN OCHA Sudan @UNOCHA_Sudan]

Sudan Humanitarian Coordinator @CNkwetaSalami welcomes the decision to extend the opening of the Adré border crossing for three more months.

Since August last year, this vital lifeline has enabled 1,570 trucks to deliver life-saving aid for 2.3M people in Darfur & Kordofan.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

📍Watch: Additional deliveries of WFP assistance arrive in Tawila, North Darfur.

WFP is swiftly dispatching urgently needed food and nutrition assistance to thousands of families who’ve endured horrific levels of violence in #Sudan's El Fasher and Zamzam camp.

[WFP Sudan @WFP_Sudan]

WFP has begun food distributions for 100,000 people in Jabal Awlia, an area at high risk of #famine

These are the first aid deliveries to reach the area since December

More assistance is en route as @WFP works to scale up support across greater #Khartoum ⤵️

[WFP Sudan @WFP_Sudan]

#BREAKING: @WFP food & nutrition assistance is arriving in #Tawila, #NorthDarfur

This is the first of several vital aid deliveries for people who fled recent violence in El Fasher & Zamzam Camp

Enough assistance for around 220,000 people is on the way

[World Food Programme @WFP]

We are deeply alarmed by the escalation of violence around Zamzam camp in #Sudan's North Darfur. Families already face #famine amid relentless fighting.

There is no time to lose. The fighting must stop. We need safe and unhindered access to all those in need.

[WFP Sudan @WFP_Sudan]

#ThisJustIn: First @WFP aid in more than a year arrived in Wad Madani #Gezira

Around 30,000 at risk of #famine will receive vital food assistance

@WFP is planning regular deliveries to the area prevent #famine

Continued safety & security are critical to make that happen

[Sarah Gordon-Gibson @SGordonGibson]

Meet Faith Awino, Head of Farchana Hub, Chad in charge of the cross-border operation to Sudan.
A great colleague & a great leader!

[WFP Media @WFP_Media]

🆕WFP sends a four-barge convoy from Renk, South Sudan, carrying 1,000 metric tons of aid destined for Kosti, via the White Nile river.

This is the first cross-border via the River Nile from #SouthSudan to #Sudan & establishes another vital route for getting assistance to Sudan.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE: A @WFP convoy, clearly marked & carrying 8 team members, was shot at by Israeli forces near Wadi Gaza despite prior clearances. Humanitarians are #NotATarget!

We MUST have safe, secure access to continue delivering life-saving aid.

[Carl Skau @WFPChief]

Shocked and heartbroken by the loss of three @WFP team members in an aerial bombardment in Blue Nile State, Sudan. Any loss of life in humanitarian service is unconscionable.

Aid workers are not – and should never be – a target. #NotATarget

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I am outraged by the killing of three @WFP staff members in Sudan after a field office was hit by aerial bombardment.

2024 is the deadliest year on record for aid workers in Sudan. Despite significant threats to their safety, they continue to do all they can to provide vital support wherever needed.

My deepest condolences to the families of the victims and their WFP colleagues.
