The World Food Programme (WFP) needs just under $300 million to sustain its current operations in Sudan, where nearly 20 million people face hunger as declining aid funding forces agencies to reduce assistance, WFP Acting Executive Director Carl Skau told Reuters.
Budget cuts have forced WFP to focus on five million of the most vulnerable people, while the agency has recently expanded its reach to about four million.
WFP has also recently begun providing aid in El Fasher, once home to about one million people. According to Skau, there were few signs of life returning to the city after its capture by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces last year.
US President Donald Trump’s administration cut billions of dollars in aid to UN agencies and charities over the past year, according to the WFP, while other major donor countries have also reduced aid budgets, citing fiscal pressures and increased defense spending.
