World Food Programme: Funding Shortfalls Worsen Hunger Crisis in Sudan
Khartoum – Mashawir
Fears are growing over rising levels of hunger among Sudanese communities, as conditions continue to deteriorate dangerously. This is adding another layer of complexity to the existing challenges and further darkening the outlook for the country’s already catastrophic humanitarian situation.
The World Food Programme (WFP) said that “funding shortages are the biggest obstacle to responding to the hunger crisis in Sudan.”
It added that “half of Sudan’s population needs humanitarian assistance.”
The programme further stated that “Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst hunger crises.”
