WFP reaches over one million people in Sudan with life-saving food assistance

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has provided emergency food assistance to more than one million people in 14 of 18 Sudan states since operations resumed on 3 May. WFP is expanding its operation to support 5.9 million conflict-affected people across Sudan over the next six months.

It urgently requires 409 million USD for this scale up. The WFP has operations to support refugees from Sudan in all neighboring countries: Chad, Central African Republic (CAR), Egypt, Ethiopia, and South Sudan. More than 500,000 people have fled Sudan since the conflict began and WFP has delivered assistance to over 248,000 people across all five countries.
