The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has commenced air drops of food assistance into Southern Sudan to feed 155,600 people cut off from road access during current rains in areas hit by conflict, high food prices and poor harvests because of drought. (..) “We can’t wait for food prices to drop or the roads to be passable again. We need to save people from hunger. Airdrops are the only way for us to reach them,” said WFP Sudan Country Director Amer Daoudi in a statement issued to the press in Nairobi on Wednesday.
