Sudan: About 900,000 Lose WFP Food Assistance as Caseload Falls Just Above Three Million, Agency Seeks $520 Million
The World Food Programme said on 12 November 2026 that funding shortages have removed an estimated 900,000 people from its food assistance in Sudan over recent months. WFP is now reaching just over three million people, compared with more than four million in August, with reductions beginning in September.
Executive Director Luke J. Lindberg delivered the warning after his first field mission, during which he met displaced families and visited feeding sites. WFP is seeking US$520 million to provide food and nutrition assistance to 5.4 million people through April 2027.
An Integrated Food Security Phase Classification analysis released in May found nearly 19.5 million people in Sudan faced crisis-level hunger or worse during February to May 2026. The International Organization for Migration recorded about 8.59 million internally displaced people across all 18 states in its snapshot covering late August through September.
