- Worth noticing
- The project says the aircraft would release food beside a camp, rather than over people, and would not land in Darfur.
Field notes
The proposal relies on an An-2 crop-spraying aircraft, whose hopper and bottom hatch are described as suitable for scattering food. The page estimates a tonne of peanuts could provide one day of food for 2,700 people, and says they require no cooking or milling. It names five locations, including Tina and El Fasher, but the extract does not establish that the aircraft or deliveries are operational.
