The UN warns food and aid supplies in Sudan could run out by the end of March unless more funding is secured. Marking more than 1,000 days of the country’s civil war, the UN’s World Food Programme on Thursday issued a plea for $700m to fund its work in Sudan.
KHARTOUM JANUARY 16: The UN warns food and aid supplies in Sudan could run out by the end of March unless more funding is secured. That’s as reports emerge of an RSF attack on a Chadian army camp near the western border, which is believed to be part of a broader push by the paramilitary group to target areas held by the Sudanese army in Darfur.
By the end of March, we will have depleted our food stocks in Sudan,” Ross Smith, director of emergency preparedness and response, said in a statement. “Without immediate additional funding, millions of people will be left without vital food assistance within weeks,” he added.
Marking more than 1,000 days of the country’s civil war, the UN’s World Food Programme on Thursday issued a plea for $700m to fund its work in Sudan. The money is needed to prevent what it says is already the world’s worst hunger and displacement crisis from getting worse.
