Heavy Rains Block Aid to Sudan's Darfur

Heavy rains have disrupted vital supply routes into Sudan's Darfur region, impacting thousands of people and raising concerns of famine. The World Food Programme (WFP) has reported that aid is stranded at border crossings with Chad, prompting negotiations for alternative routes like Adre. The ongoing conflict in Sudan has exacerbated the situation, with millions displaced and ethnic violence escalating, leading to a severe hunger crisis. The WFP seeks to move a significant aid convoy through challenging terrains, crossing various militia-controlled areas to reach those in need. Refugees in Darfur are resorting to eating grass as food shortages worsen, highlighting the urgent humanitarian needs in the region.
