The weekend officially starts at 10:00 GMT on Saturday with the annual cannon firing, organisers said.
"Port Sudan is our main humanitarian hub," says Leni Kinzli, WFP spokesperson for Sudan."In March, we had almost 20,000 metric tonnes of food distributed, and I would say definitely more than half of that came through Port Sudan," she told the BBC.
The WFP has said that there is currently famine in 10 regions of the country, with 17 more at risk.Many aid agencies are now concerned these attacks could block the flow of aid, making the humanitarian situation even worse."I think this is going to severely constrain the delivery of life-saving food and medical supplies, which will risk further deterioration of the already critical situation," Shashwat Saraf, country director for the Norwegian Refugee Council, told the BBC.
He added that while agencies will look for other routes into the country, it will be challenging.At night the city is quiet.
Before the attacks, people would gather at the coast and some would watch football in local cafes. But the electricity blackout has left the city in the dark and residents are choosing to stay at home for security reasons.
Iran and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have been accused of violating a UN arms embargo by supplying drones to the warring sides in the 14-month conflict that has devastated Sudan. We look at the evidence to back up the claim.Trump is using tariffs as a weapon of diplomacy, even coercion, on topics entirely unrelated to global trade.
Are the leaders of G20 nations with their own domestic audiences really going to roll over in order to give the new president a win?They could choose to wait out the inevitable impact of Trump applying a 25% increase on the cost of two-fifths of US imports on US consumers and inflation.
The cost of washing machines in the US rose 12% or by about $86, after Trump hit foreign-made machines with a 50% tariff during his first term. Such increases, no matter how modest, run counter to Trump's promises during the campaign to bring down the cost of living.But though Americans might be more sensitive to price rises now than they were in 2018, the political appetite for tariffs should not be underestimated.
