In Sudan, where more than 25 million people are at risk of hunger, it is proving extremely difficult to provide urgently needed aid. Violence, displacement and impassable roads pose enormous challenges for aid workers.
About 10 million people are displaced within the country, and about 2 million have fled to neighboring countries. More than 4 million children have been forced to leave their homes because of the violence.
25.6 million people – more than half of Sudan’s population – are suffering from a hunger crisis, and 755,000 people are on the brink of famine.
Mass evictions, fighting
However, it is extremely difficult for aid agencies to reach those affected. Due to ongoing fighting, mass displacement, denial of humanitarian access and rain making roads impassable, food supplies are very difficult.
On World Humanitarian Day, World Vision, one of the world’s largest humanitarian aid organizations, is calling for unrestricted access for aid workers to crisis areas.
