In South Sudan, where roads are few and the rainy season cuts off entire regions, the Nile becomes more than just a river, it becomes a lifeline.

For WFP, river transport is essential to reach communities in the most remote areas. Barges loaded with life-saving food and nutrition supplies navigate long journeys to deliver assistance where it's needed most.

By using the river, WFP can transport large volumes of food at lower cost, helping us stretch every dollar further and support more families.

As access by road and air becomes increasingly limited due to conflict, river routes remain a vital corridor of hope for millions.
