Sudan’s government has announced the reopening of a key border crossing with Chad, allowing for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the war-torn country.
The Adre crossing, closed in February by the Sudanese Armed Forces, will be open for three months.
This decision comes amid growing concerns about the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Sudan, particularly in the Darfur region.
The United Nations has warned of famine conditions in parts of North Darfur, including the Zamzam camp, which houses around half a million displaced people.
The reopening of the Adre crossing is a crucial step in addressing the urgent needs of millions of Sudanese affected by the ongoing civil war
Over 10 million people have been displaced, and more than half of the population faces acute hunger.
The United States and the United Kingdom have previously accused the Sudanese Armed Forces of obstructing humanitarian aid delivery, including shutting down the Adre crossing.
The reopening of the crossing is a positive development that could allow for more effective aid distribution.
UNICEF has warned that tens of thousands of Sudanese children are at risk of death due to the humanitarian crisis.
The agency called for urgent action to address the situation, including the protection of children from violence and recruitment.
