Overview
- Rations have been cut to the minimum for survival and WFP warns millions could lose assistance within weeks without new funds, citing a March deadline for depleting stocks.
- WFP reports it has reached over 10 million people since the conflict escalated and continues serving about 4 million monthly, including in previously cut-off areas after limited access gains such as the Kadugli convoy.
- More than 21 million people in Sudan face acute hunger with famine confirmed in some areas, nearly 12 million have fled their homes, and 3.7 million children and pregnant or breastfeeding women are malnourished.
- Across West and Central Africa, WFP says 55 million people face severe food shortages and the agency requires over $453 million for the next six months as 2025 funding reductions worsened hunger, according to regional leadership.
- In Nigeria, cuts forced WFP to scale back nutrition support affecting over 300,000 children and around 15,000 people in Borno state face catastrophic risk, while insecurity and funding gaps also threaten millions in Mali and Cameroon.
