USAID cuts leave 1.8 million people being denied food in Sudan
Trump’s cuts to USAID has left 1.8 million famine affected people being denied food in Sudan, according to Middle East Eye on March 10th from sources in Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms.
Food shipped from the United States intended for those suffering from starvation in Sudan is sitting rotting in warehouses after Trump’s administration announced an immediate suspension of all foreign aid programmes, eliminating 5,200 of its 6,200 programmes.
The commodities have been paid for, but organisations do not have the money to distribute them. Sudan’s war is the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with 12 million displaced people and two-thirds of the population are in dire need of humanitarian assistance.
