AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoHunger Emergency: UN agencies warn Sudan’s crisis is sliding toward “an even greater tragedy” as nearly 19.5 million people face acute food insecurity, with 135,000 already in catastrophic conditions and 14 hotspots at risk of famine in the coming months. Rainy-Season Pressure: The warning ties worsening hunger to the lean season between June and September, as violence, displacement, and shrinking humanitarian access keep food out of reach. Human Cost: The conflict’s fourth year is also driving a severe nutrition emergency, with 825,000 children under five projected to suffer severe acute malnutrition in 2026. Aid Bottleneck: WFP and partners say operations can’t match needs due to insecurity, bureaucratic hurdles, and attacks on supply routes. Broader Context: AU and UN leaders also renewed calls against external interference fueling Africa’s conflicts, naming Sudan among the affected theatres.
