NNA -nbsp;The United Nations#39; World Food Programme (WFP) has temporarily suspended food assistance in some parts of Sudan#39;s state of Gezira as fighting spreads south and east of Sudan#39;s capital Khartoum, the aid agency said in a statement on Wednesday.

Around 300,000 people have fled Gezira in a matter of days, since clashes erupted last week on Friday, WFP said.

WFP has put food deliveries on hold in some locations in Gezira, said Eddie Rowe, WFP#39;s representative and country director in Sudan, adding that its teams are working around the clock to provide food aid in locations where it is still possible. — Reuters
