"Sudanese refugees deserve protection, not further hunger and despair." As the war in #Sudan rages on, food assistance for millions of Sudanese sheltering in neighbouring countries is at risk of halting. WFP's Shaun Hughes explains ⬇️

Pressure is mounting on limited resources in countries around #Sudan. In #Chad, around 1,000 people are still crossing the border every day in search of safety and food. WFP is responding but support is urgently needed. 🎥 Hear from our colleague Sylvain on the ground.

From #Sudan to #DRC, conflict and climate are driving millions from their homes. 🚨World Food Programme supports over 6M refugees in 20+ African countries—but funding shortfalls mean families are going hungry, children miss school, and lifelines are breaking.

.World Food Programme is supporting Sudanese refugees across 7+ countries—providing hot meals and nutrition to families fleeing conflict. But funding is running dry. ⏳In #Chad, #Ethiopia & #Uganda, assistance could halt within weeks unless urgent support arrives.

In besieged El Fasher, Darfur, civilians are cut off from aid and at risk of starvation. Every day without access costs lives. I’ve held a series of calls this week on an urgent humanitarian pause. Let us work.

In Ethiopia’s #Amhara region, WFP's e-Voucher programme is enabling mothers to purchase fresh, nutrient-rich foods from local markets. This innovative approach is tackling malnutrition and giving children a healthier start in life.

Extreme hunger is spreading in #Sudan. World Food Programme fed 5M+ people last month––a record. Millions more remain hungry, especially in the besieged cities El Fasher & Kadugli. We are doing everything possible to get aid in, but we urgently need safe passage, security guarantees + funding.

When refugees arrive with nothing, World Food Programme is there - with food, school meals, & nutrition support. In #Uganda, most now receive just 20% of their food needs. Help us keep this lifeline strong, so families can focus on their futures, not fear for their next meal.

Zeinab fled #Sudan with her children 8 months ago. Now in #Ethiopia, they rely on World Food Programme’s monthly food assistance—delivered as cash transfers—to meet their basic needs. But without urgent funding, WFP will be forced to scale back this life-saving support.
