Today 4,000 kits of core relief items crossed and cleared from #Ethiopia into southeast #Sudan. It’s enough to improve the lives of 20,000 people, but the good news isn’t the number; it’s the route. We’ve been pushing for #humanitarian assistance to enter via as many border crossings as possible to max out the flow of lifesaving aid to people across this vast country. This is the first major aid shipment originating from Ethiopia into Sudan. Hopefully not the last; it was meant as a test case and to break new ground. To be frank, it took months to coordinate and build consensus with all relevant stakeholders, and to push through different and new procedures—but now that it’s established, much easier to re-run. Thanks to Governors in both Amhara (Ethiopia) and Gedaref (Sudan) for facilitating movements within and across their territories (not easy in current contexts on either side), for UN OCHA Ethiopia and our Ethiopia team for supporting clearances on the other side of the border, and the Humanitarian Aid Commission and Wali’s office in Gedaref for expediting clearances this side. With thanks also to flexible humanitarian donors, notably Sida, Norway MFA, and Swiss Development and Cooperation, for also sharing risks and uncertainties with us in treading new paths. — So far we’ve assisted over a quarter million people in our emergency response in Sudan, and supported 100 locally-led relief initiatives.

Wrapped our first mission back to #Khartoum State. #Humanitarian needs are large and acute, and risks remain high - but it’s possible to work and help, and clearly there are #local capacities/initiatives to support first. We’ll be setting an office and team there in the next few weeks, and (though we’re still processing our notes…) likely try to support food/#cash assistance, improve #shelter conditions, and support #education services, among other things. Luckily the route passes some of #Sudan’s jaw dropping pyramids (the first time in my 4 years here I was able to see them, if only for 10 mins), and they reminded me just how ancient the civilisation of #Sudan is, and that it will persevere through this #war too.
