Causes of Sudan's Hunger Crisis
Sudan is facing a severe food crisis due to the ongoing war that has lasted over three years, coupled with a decline in international funding and the resulting cuts in aid allocations, as well as the drought's impact on agricultural production. Weak humanitarian assistance, a 25% increase in maize prices over a month, and the deterioration of the Sudanese pound's value have all contributed to increasing the suffering of the population, especially internally displaced persons and those in areas controlled by the Rapid Support Forces. Although the Ministry of Agriculture affirms the existence of a good agricultural season with expectations of a satisfactory yield, the political and economic crisis, along with the lack of funding, weaken the government's capacity to meet the urgent needs. Currently, around 20 million Sudanese are suffering from hunger, with 5 million in emergency situations.
