HAC: Sudan Does Not Obstruct Aid Flow

Humanitarian Aid Commissioner (HAC) Salwa Adam Benya denied the accusations of some circles that Sudan obstructs the flow of humanitarian aid, ssserting the government’s commitment to its pledges previously announced in the Jeddah platform and others to open crossings and facilitate procedures for the flow of humanitarian aid.

The Humanitarian Aid Commission inaugurated Friday humanitarian aid convoys of more than 45 trucks of various materials started from Portsudan to Kassala, Al-Gadarif, Khartoum, River Nile and the Northern States, in the presence of the technical mechanism for humanitarian emergencies.

Salwa Adam Benya renewed, in press statements during the farewell of the convoys, her confirmation of HAC commitment to delivering aid to citizens in all parts of Sudan, whether by land or air transport to the cut-off areas, indicating the Commission’s keenness to ensure the flow of aid.

She added, “These convoys are not the first and will not be the last, and we will continue to send and see off convoys.”
The Humanitarian Aid Commissioner expressed Sudan’s gratitude and appreciation to the sisterly and donor countries that stood by Sudan in its ordeal, noting that the current convoys are the last shipments coming from Kuwait and Turkey.

She pointed out that there are good news regarding the opening of roads and paths to difficult areas and said, “In the coming days, we will begin sending aid to Southern, Northern, and Western Kordofan, adding that we have a delegation now in Juba to discuss ways to deliver aid to South Kordofan,” pointing out that aid will be delivered via Port Sudan Airport to Kadugli and Al-Dalanj during the coming period.

The HAC Commissioner said that aid will also reach Darfur and that some roads are open, stressing the Commission’s serious efforts to deliver aid to all citizens without segregation, even in areas where the rebel RSF militia is present.
