The United Nations has announced the extension of the opening of the Adre border crossing between Chad and Sudan for an additional three months, allowing the continued delivery of humanitarian assistance to millions of people in need in the Darfur region.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed that maintaining humanitarian access through the crossing is critically important to saving lives and meeting the urgent needs of affected populations.
Separately, US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos called on all Sudanese parties to honor their commitments to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid and to work toward a humanitarian truce that would enable the entry of more assistance and help lay the foundations for lasting peace.
