On Thursday (30), the UN agency said it is equipped to support this number of people, but due to the conflict, it is unable to reach all areas of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have made significant breakthroughs in getting aid deliveries to hard-to-reach areas in the last three months, but these cannot be one-off events,\u201d said Alex Marianelli, acting Country Director for Sudan. \u201cWe urgently need to get a constant flow of aid to families in the hardest hit locations, which have also been the most difficult to reach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example of this difficulty, the WFP cited a convoy headed to areas already in famine, or at-risk of famine, in Darfur, that took three times longer to reach its destination due to stoppages imposed by groups involved in the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the WFP said recent efforts by Sudan\u2019s Central Bank and Ministry of Finance to ease the crisis, and increase cash availability, will mean that WFP\u2019s operations can gradually resume some of its projects of providing cash and food to Sudanese people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Read more:<\/em><br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/unhcr-seeks-private-sector-support-for-refugees\/\">UNHCR seeks private sector support for refugees<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/food-program-reached-over-330000-palestinians\/\">Food program reached over 330,000 Palestinians<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translated by Guilherme Miranda<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-381763\">\u00a9AFP<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Nations\u2019 WFP aims to support 7 million people in the country but faces difficulties in reaching all regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":381763,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[106],"tags":[7486,52256,17011,1854,52257],"class_list":{"0":"post-381766","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-foreign-affairs","8":"tag-conflict","9":"tag-darfur-2","10":"tag-foods","11":"tag-sudan","12":"tag-world-food-program"},"wps_subtitle":"The United Nations\u2019 WFP aims to support 7 million people in the country but faces difficulties in reaching all regions.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2316"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/381763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
