More than 700 trucks are currently on their way to communities across Sudan as part of a major scale up, a World Food Programme spokesperson said on Tuesday.

She added that some of the food was intended for 14 areas of the country that face famine or at risk of famine, including Zamzam camp in the conflict-torn Darfur region.
