UN humanitarian official tells the Security Council that aid to starving Sudanese is being blocked

Associated Press  

UNITED NATIONS — A U.N. humanitarian official told the Security Council on Tuesday that life-saving supplies are “ready to be loaded and dispatched” to a famine-stricken displacement camp in Sudan but the civil war’s combatants won’t let them through. Edem Wosornu, operations director for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, told the council it is “still possible to stop this freight train of suffering” but that requires “the urgency that this moment demands.” A report released Thursday found that the Zamzam camp in southern Sudan likely faces famine and the crisis will continue “as long as the conflict and limited humanitarian access continue.” At least 500,000 people are sheltering in the camp, according to the report. World Food Program Assistant Executive Director Stephen Omollo told the council that the agency will target people in Sudan facing “emergency, catastrophic levels of hunger” for aid delivery. Omollo also said the new report on famine must serve as a “wake-up call” for the council to persuade Sudan’s warring parties to halt fighting and secure cross-border aid routes. Wosornu said aid workers in Sudan are “harassed, attacked, and even killed,” while supply convoys carrying food, medicine and fuel “have been subjected to looting and extortion.” Sudanese U.N. ambassador Mohamed Ibrahim Elbahi accused the U.N. of downplaying the paramilitary’s practices of looting aid convoys — including the theft of more than 4,000 liters of fuel from a U.N. convoy this week — and deliberately starving civilians.
