WFP reports that food and nutrition distributions for over 220,000 people have started in Tawila, North Darfur – where hundreds of thousands are seeking refuge from horrific violence in and around El Fasher and Zamzam IDP Camp. The upcoming rainy season and funding shortfalls could threaten recent progress in turning the tide of famine – at a time when WFP urgently needs to be scaling up to pre-stock food before roads become flooded and impassable, and ahead of the lean season when hunger is expected to surge.
