The food assistance of the United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP) has been suspended in temporarily in some parts of Sudan's state of Gezira as fighting spreads south and east of Sudan's capital Khartoum. The statement issued by WFP said that around 300,000 people have fled Gezira in a matter of days, since clashes erupted last week on Friday. WFP has put food deliveries on hold in some locations in Gezira, said Eddie Rowe, WFP's representative and country director in Sudan. The teams are working around the clock to provide food aid in locations where it is still possible, the country director of WFP in Sudan added.
