Western powers warn Sudan faces imminent famine as aid funding collapses
The US and 30 other nations issued a joint statement warning of an 'alarming deterioration' in Sudan's food security, urging warring factions to allow humanitarian access to prevent famine. While 19.5 million people face acute hunger, funding for the 2026 humanitarian plan remains at just 40%, exacerbating the crisis in refugee camps like Chad's Iridimi.
