A constructive decision by both sides will allow the inflow of much needed aid to stop hunger, address food insecurity and address the enormous humanitarian needs in Darfur and beyond. The parties should immediately communicate and coordinate with humanitarian partners to ensure these corridors are operational efficiently with full and unhindered access. The international community and humanitarian organizations must also seize the opportunity to move aid and save lives among the most vulnerable.
