Food supplies to some Sudan refugees could dry up within two months: WFP

Date: Jul 1, 2025

Food aid to help Sudanese refugees in four neighbouring countries could end within the next couple of months without an urgent injection of new funding.

This is according to a World Food Programme (WFP) official this Tuesday, warning of rising malnutrition levels.

"Unless new funding is secured, all refugees will face assistance cuts in the coming months," said Shaun Hughes, the WFP’s Emergency Coordinator for the Sudan Regional Crisis, referring to over four million refugees who have fled Sudan's civil war.

"In the case of four countries - that's the Central African Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya - WFP's operations are now so severely underfunded, that all support will cease in the coming months as resources run dry," he said, clarifying later that this could happen within two months.
