A Day in the Life:
Supporting Airdrops in South Sudan
Learn how the World Food Programme is delivering
hope to families facing famine - and how the ISTAT
Foundation is helping make this work possible.
It's a Friday in April when an Ilyushin IL76
freighter belonging to the United Nations
Humanitarian Air Service taxis to the single runway at Juba International Airport
for the 280nm trip to Mayendit County in
South Sudan's Unity State.
The aircraft is carrying precious cargo:
44,000 pounds of food known as SuperCereal
Plus, a highly nutritious paste made of
fortified corn and soya that is specifically
formulated to treat and prevent malnutrition among children from six months to
two years old.
More than a year after the U.N. declared
famine in parts of South Sudan, more than
half the population - nearly six million
people - are still facing extreme hunger
in the world's youngest nation. The tragedy
of this latest crisis is that the situation is
caused not by extreme weather or natural
disasters but by manmade forces: five years
of conflict.
Following a short flight of a little under
an hour, the aircraft descends and completes
a low-altitude run across the planned drop
zone. On the ground below, the calm is broken by the sound of the IL76's four PS90
jet engines. The local people, who have
The aircraft turns again and completes several more drops until finally, with its immense cargo
hold fully emptied, it wheels away back toward Juba.

Following a sighting run across the drop zone, the aircraft turns and passes again at about
1,000 feet above the ground. This time the rear ramp door is open and the cargo retaining locks
have been released. The pilot increases power and pulls up the nose, sending the vital cargo on
its way to the ground below as a blossoming of orange parachutes.
become accustomed to these events in recent
months, are told to clear the area by U.N.
World Food Programme [WFP] staff tasked
with securing the designated drop zone.
One in three people in South Sudan have
been forced from their homes by the civil
war, many of whom are smallholder farmers
now unable to tend their fields. The latest
harvest saw the worst production of the
country's staple grains since the conflict
began in 2013. Many parts of the country
are now almost entirely dependent on food
aid. To make matters worse, the imminent
rainy season threatens to render most of
the country's unpaved roads impassable.
Delivery of food by air is, quite literally, a
lifesaving necessity.
The entire cost of this 6 April airdrop,
which provided nutritious food for 2,000
children for an entire month, was met by
a humanitarian grant of $33,000 USD from
the ISTAT Foundation.
