“Some 6,000 people benefitted from the food assistance, which is part of a larger project to help flood victims throughout the country,” it added.
At least 100 people have died and around 85,000 others have been internally displaced by the floods.
More than half a million people have been affected in 17 of the 18 Sudanese states, according to authorities.
