The World Food Programme (WFP) warned Tuesday that food assistance for Sudanese refugees in four neighboring countries could run out within two months unless urgent funding is secured.
Shaun Hughes, WFP’s Emergency Coordinator for the Sudan Regional Crisis, said more than four million people who have fled Sudan’s ongoing civil war are at risk.
“In the case of four countries—Central African Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Libya—WFP’s operations are now so severely underfunded that all support will cease in the coming months,” Hughes said, adding the cutoffs could begin within two months.
