A fraction of available aid has passed through the Adre border crossing from Chad into Sudan's hunger-ravaged Darfur region this week following a move by the Sudanese army to temporarily lift a ban on deliveries.
The army's rivals in the country's devastating 16-month-old war control most of Darfur and the Adre crossing, the quickest way into the region.
