KHARTOUM, Dhu-AlQa'dah 20, 1439, August 02, 2018, SPA -- Sudan’s Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) on Wednesday said a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver food assistance to South Sudan has been extended for another six months. In July 2014, Juba and Khartoum signed a MoU to open a humanitarian corridor to deliver food assistance to vulnerable South Sudanese through the River Nile or by road. Last January, the agreement was extended for a six month period. The cross-border operation allows the World Food Program (WFP) to reduce the costly airlift or airdrop operations in a time where the international agency faces serious financial challenges. --SPA 00:25 LOCAL TIME 21:25 GMT 0037 www.spa.gov.sa/w725282
