Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Health in Sudan\u2019s East Darfur State on Tuesday confirmed receipt of a shipment of 60,000 tons of humanitarian consisting of biscuits and nutritional supplements from the United Nations International Children\u2019s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).<\/p>\n

Mohammed Ahmed Mohammed, the Commissioner in charge of Humanitarian Affairs in East Darfur State, told Radio Tamazuj Tuesday that a UNICEF fleet of trucks arrived in the state capital.<\/p>\n

“A convoy belonging to UNICEF arrived today (Tuesday) in Al-Daein and we are currently in the process of handing over the convoy to the health ministry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ahmed thanked the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for securing the relief convoy from Adre\u0301 in Chad to Al-Daein and appealed to all donors, UN agencies, and national organizations to support those affected by the war in the state.<\/p>\n

He revealed that the number of people displaced from other areas to East Darfur State has reached 435,000 and that the state requires more support and health and water services.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Director-General of the Ministry of Health and Social Development, Al-Shafei Ahmed, said that the state has been grappling with a shortage of essential drugs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state has been suffering from a shortage of medicines and medical supplies as a result of the war and the increasing influx of displaced persons to the state. The most affected are children due to the depletion of nutritional biscuits,\u201d he revealed. \u201c<\/b>The convoy contains therapeutic nutritional biscuits and other nutritional supplements which are an addition to the state’s humanitarian aid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, we aspire for more,\u201d Ahmed added.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that what has reached the state in terms of aid represents only 10 percent of the state’s total needs.<\/p>\n

For his part, the Director of the Sudanese Relief and Humanitarian Operations Agency, Jamal Al-Zain Kabashi, expressed happiness at receiving the first humanitarian aid convoy and thanked the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs for their cooperation.<\/p>\n

He noted that the RSF committed to securing humanitarian aid until it reached the beneficiaries but that the aid does not meet the state’s needs.<\/p>\n
