UN Briefing on November 12: WFP Urgently Needs 520 Million Dollars to Aid 5.4 Million People in Sudan Through April 2027
The Office of the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General reported at the daily briefing in New York on November 12, 2026, that World Food Programme Executive Director Luke Lindberg has concluded his first field mission to Sudan, meeting families struggling to feed their children, and that WFP urgently needs 520 million US dollars to provide lifesaving aid to 5.4 million people in Sudan through April 2027.
Sudan's conflict has lasted more than three years and is described by the UN as the world's largest humanitarian crisis. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on November 4 that access to health care in Sudan remains severely constrained by insecurity, shortages of medicines and health workers, restricted humanitarian access and attacks on health care, with more than 230 verified attacks causing more than 2,000 deaths since the conflict began.
