Here is a copy of a comment, posted in Arabic at the above WFP tweet: "To whom it may concern for humanitarian reasons We wish the Sudanese people peace when the relief work begins, the relief should be an easy lunch to prepare, for example, wheat needs to be grinded, so it is better to be flour to facilitate preparation, and it is better to have a lunch basket with a carton that includes the basic needs of families, thank you."
