Overview
- The agency flags six operations at risk — Afghanistan, DRC, Haiti, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan — where 13.7 million recipients could move from crisis to emergency hunger.
- Assistance has already been slashed: Afghanistan now reaches under 10% of those in need, Haiti’s hot meals are suspended with rations halved, and Somalia’s caseload will drop to about 350,000 in November.
- Pipeline breaks are imminent, with Somalia and Afghanistan at risk from November, DRC facing a complete break by February 2026, and South Sudan’s food baskets missing key items from October.
- In war-torn Sudan, WFP reaches about 4 million people a month as 25 million face acute hunger with famine confirmed in some areas, and the agency says $600 million is needed over six months to scale up.
- Donor retrenchment has driven the squeeze, with U.S. funding to WFP down to roughly $1.5 billion from nearly $4.5 billion last year and preparedness eroded, including no hurricane reserves for Haiti and no pre-positioned winter stocks in Afghanistan.
