United Nations has extended the opening of the Adré crossing from Chad

The United Nations has extended the opening of the Adré crossing from Chad for three months to allow UN agencies to continue delivering humanitarian aid to those in need in Sudan.

Since the crossing’s opening in mid-August, the UN and its partners have transported over 337 trucks carrying humanitarian aid, including over 11,000 metric tons of food and relief supplies, which can cover the needs of approximately 1.4 million people.

The distribution of this aid continues in several locations around Darfur, with another 30,000 tonnes of supplies currently in Chad or on their way to the region. The UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, has also welcomed the decision to continue allowing the delivery of humanitarian aid through the Adré border crossing point from Chad to Darfur for another three months.

The decision follows appeals by several humanitarian organizations, including the World Food Programme (WFP), to keep the Adré border crossing open.

The Adré border crossing was set to close this Friday if no new agreement was reached to keep it open.
