Overview
- WFP projects significant supply shortfalls from November and warns nearly 14 million people could slip into a humanitarian emergency within months.
- The organization singles out Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan as most at risk.
- In South Sudan, people are receiving only 50–70% of usual rations, with key foods for preventing and treating malnutrition missing.
- In Afghanistan, current funds would cover just 8% of planned winter assistance for 9.5 million food-insecure people.
- Overall financing is about 40% below last year as major donors reduce support; U.S. funding dropped from over $7 billion to under $4 billion, and one report links the gap to broader USAID cutbacks under President Trump.
