Sudan risks deeper hunger crisis due to war, aid cuts and Hormuz disruption, says WFP

Sudan faces a potential return to severe hunger as ongoing conflict, reductions in aid funding, and escalating agricultural costs stemming from disruptions tied to the Iran war threaten to undo the progress made since famine struck parts of the country. The World Food Programme warns that these compounded crises could lead to a deeper hunger crisis, highlighting the urgent need for international support to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. The situation underscores the broader implications of regional conflicts spilling over into humanitarian crises, emphasizing the interconnected nature of global security and food security.
