Food situation “satisfactory” according to government

    NAIROBI

    Minister of Agriculture Dr Al-Hajj Adam was quoted by government media as saying the food situation in Sudan was “satisfactory”. He said Sudan did not suffer a food gap, and that available food met domestic consumption. The comments follow a warning by WFP last week that aid supplies in Sudan would run out by June, leaving about 2 million people in danger of starvation. The agency appealed for increased aid saying there had been a poor response to an appeal in January.
