Sudan: Camp Dwellers Welcome New Food Choices

Abdulla Adam Mussa and his family have spent the last seven years in a camp for displaced people in western Darfur. For most of that time, they’ve gotten by on food aid. But thanks to a new food vouchers scheme, they’ll be able to shop for their own food on local markets, allowing them more choice and a greater variety.

Overview

With its southern region now an independent country on its own, Sudan will continue to face humanitarian challenges due to ongoing conflict and insecurity in its western region of Darfur and an escalation of conflict in the Abyei area and the state of South Kordofan.

SOUTH SUDAN
