BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Lebanese officials must also prioritize rebuilding the state economically and socially, as well as returning the depositors’ funds.
Sheikh Qassem: The second priority is reconstruction, and I call on the Lebanese government to place this item first on the agenda of its next session.
Sheikh Qassem: Lebanese officials must prioritize ending Israeli aggression, its violations, its occupation, and securing the release of prisoners.
Sheikh Qassem: We are part of the new era and partners in its benefits, and we want those who previously took certain stances for specific reasons to reconsider them in order to build the country.
Sheikh Qassem: We say to the servants of Israel: return to your national sense so that we can work together.
Sheikh Qassem: The servants of "Israel"; their sedition has destroyed Lebanon, and they always act in ways that break those around them and destabilize the country.
Sheikh Qassem: You did not succeed in eliminating us, and you will not succeed. No single component can be isolated, and you will not achieve through pressure what you failed to achieve through war.
Sheikh Qassem: Whoever thinks they can isolate the resistance is delusional.
Sheikh Qassem: The Lebanese state must act more and confront Israeli violations with greater strength.
Sheikh Qassem: Israel is now trying to eliminate the resistance through continued pressure and aggression, but by political means.

The United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, announced on Wednesday that the Sudanese government agreed to allow humanitarian aid through Chad and South Sudanese terminals. 

In a post on X, Salami said that the Sudanese government informed her that it would facilitate the passage of humanitarian aid through the Tina crossing between Chad and Darfur, and the Renk crossing between Kosti and the White Nile State.

Today I was informed that the Sudanese Government would facilitate humanitarian access from Chad through the Tina border crossing.

We are now liaising with relevant authorities and parties so that we can get our humanitarian convoys back on the road.

"There is no time to lose. We are now liaising with relevant authorities and parties so that we can get our humanitarian convoys back on the road."

The Sudanese government's statement, reported by Reuters, explained that the government "will determine routes and airports in different regions to receive humanitarian aid."

The Sudan News Agency (SUNA) reported that the government had agreed to use the Tina crossing to enter aid from Chad into the al-Fasher region, the capital of North Darfur.

SUNA explained, quoting the Sudanese Foreign Ministry, that the use of the crossing comes in addition to other routes, including the Republic of South Sudan by river transport and the land road from Renk to Kosti. It also approved the usage of al-Fasher, Kadugli, and al-Obeid airports if difficulties were encountered on land routes. 

Sudan at risk of becoming 'largest hunger crisis' amid war: WFP

The United Nations' World Food Programme declared on Wednesday that Sudan's almost year-long war "risks triggering the world's largest hunger crisis."

The war between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who leads the Rapid Support Forces, has left tens of thousands dead, and more than eight million displaced from their homes, which has made it the world's largest displacement crisis.

WFP executive director Cindy McCain said that "millions of lives and the peace and stability of an entire region are at stake," adding, "Twenty years ago, Darfur was the world's largest hunger crisis and the world rallied to respond."

"But today, the people of Sudan have been forgotten."

WFP highlighted that it cannot reach 90% of those facing "emergency levels of hunger," noting that only 5% of the population "can afford a square meal a day".
