The suspension of USAID funding has intensified an already dire hunger crisis in Sudan, where millions face malnutrition and death. The U.S. government, under President Trump's administration, has significantly reduced aid and personnel at USAID, critically impacting local relief efforts. Last year, USAID contributed heavily to Sudan's humanitarian response, funding numerous community kitchens vital for those in conflict-affected regions. With around 80% of these kitchens now closed, local volunteers continue to provide meals, but hunger levels remain catastrophic, with over 600,000 experiencing famine conditions and millions on the verge of famine.
The USAID funding pause has exacerbated the hunger crisis in Sudan, where millions face malnutrition-related deaths, creating severe challenges for relief workers.
Approximately 80% of the 1,460 community kitchens shut down after USAID halted funding, significantly impacting thousands reliant on emergency food supplies.
Women from community kitchens have been instrumental in distributing meals to those affected by conflict and hunger, serving areas unreachable by international aid.
Over 600,000 people in Sudan are currently experiencing famine-level hunger, with eight million more on the brink of famine due to ongoing conflicts.
