Mr. Bayisa says WFP is still assessing other possible logistical means to deliver more aid to the country during the start of the rainy season.

“Before rainy season our plan was to transfer 12 thousands metric ton which is done. Now, this is the last convoy of the last 12 thousand metric ton and then again we never stop the planning because depending on the rainy season. We are also having the second plan, working for Aweil corridor,” Bayisa said.

For his part, the Commissioner of humanitarian affairs in North Kordofan state, Ahmed Babkier Alhassan confirmed that a convoy carrying food and non-food items has been dispatched to South Sudan.
