DZWatch Exclusive: The United Nations has announced the extension of operations at the “Adri” border crossing between Chad and Sudan for an additional three months. This decision aims to ensure the continued flow of humanitarian aid to millions of affected people in the Darfur region.
The UN emphasized that this extension is crucial given the deteriorating humanitarian conditions and the persistent need for food, medicine, and basic services. Access to these vital resources remains a significant challenge, particularly in remote areas within the Darfur region.
The Adri crossing serves as a critical lifeline for aid delivery. It enables humanitarian organizations to transport assistance more quickly and safely to those in need. The UN has underscored the importance of maintaining smooth operations at the border crossing.
The organization also called upon all parties to facilitate the work of humanitarian teams and to respect international humanitarian law, thereby ensuring the protection of civilians and aid workers. Facilitating the delivery of aid is of utmost importance to alleviate suffering in the Darfur region.
This extension is expected to bolster the humanitarian response in the coming months and alleviate the severity of the crisis affecting millions in Darfur. It is hoped that this measure will provide much-needed relief while longer-term solutions are sought to end the suffering and restore stability to the region.
