Food aid heads for Sudan’s Darfur region after six-month closure, says UN and US

Talks in Switzerland to secure a ceasefire deal between Sudan’s two warring parties failed this week after the Sudanese military did not send a delegation. But international negotiators succeeded in getting access for humanitarian aid to the country’s conflict and famine-stricken Darfur region, enabling food trucks to make their way to the Zamzam and other camps for displaced people, the UN and US said Friday.
