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.

Immense suffering both sides of the Chad/#Sudan border of West #Darfur, and too few #humanitarian resources to help the vast majority. I finished my recent mission to help reopen our West Darfur office, leaving there a strong team of both Sudanese and international staff to work on #Education-in-Emergencies, emergency #food security and #shelter, and some #protection services for vulnerable community members, following dialogue and permissions with local authorities and stakeholders. I saw some of the devastation in the city, and spoke with conflict-affected communities, including people left in neighbourhoods who couldn’t flee—such as #war #widows with children, elderly people, and families caring for people with disabilities. Our team are also now visiting areas with displacement-affected communities too. #Principled aid work there is complex, but possible, and necessary, and deserving of greater international support. I look forward to getting back to the team and communities there soon enough, but need to focus now on restarting operations in North Darfur and increasing our work in Kordofan.

The #humanitarian situation in #Darfur #Sudan is devastating, neglected. Principled action is desperately needed. Last week we restarted our West Darfur office and aid operation. It’s been a dark, traumatic period, and my visits filled me with immense sadness, but also resolve.
