The suspension of the Fews Net, critical for monitoring global food crises, follows President Trump's executive order halting US foreign aid for 90 days. This decision has thrown the humanitarian response framework into chaos, limiting the ability of organizations to preemptively address hunger. Fews Net provides vital data for distributing food aid and preventing starvation in high-risk areas like Sudan and Myanmar. Experts warn that without this system, global aid efforts will struggle to respond to impending famines effectively.
Fews Net is considered the most important tool for judging levels of hunger and preventing deadly famines, and its suspension threatens lives during a global food crisis.
Charles Kenny emphasized that without Fews Net, global humanitarian responders will be flying blind, lacking crucial advance warning of potential famine locations.
