Government of Sudan agrees to open 6 airports and 7 crossings for relief access

 The government of the Republic of Sudan renewed its commitment to provide all facilities for the flow of humanitarian aid and to provide everything that would help in the influx of this aid to those in need throughout the country.

The government agreed to open the airports of Kassala, Dongola and Al-Obied in addition to Kadugli Airport, which was agreed upon between President of the Transitional Sovereignty Council (TSC) and President of the State of South Sudan.

Thus, there are 6 airports available to international organizations in addition to 7 land crossings that were previously approved.

It is worth mentioning that effective communication is taking place these days to start operating flights to transport humanitarian aid to South Kordofan State via Juba Airport to Kadugli Airport, and thus the Government of Sudan has fulfilled all thr requirements for the entry and flow of humanitarian aid by air, land and sea.

All these decisions come from the government’s responsibility and determination to alleviate the suffering of citizens. The government calls on the international community to fulfill its commitment to provide in-kind and financial assistance, and to pressure the rebels to stop their inhumane actions of arresting organization employees or besieging and bombing civilians, as has been happening for the third month in the city of El Fasher and other Sudanese cities.
