Parts of the country are experiencing the driest season in living memory, affecting 600,000 people. At the same time, 2.4 million people continue to urgently need assistance due to the ongoing civil war. If we do not receive urgent funding, there will be mass population movements, widespread malnutrition, and worse. WFP is greatly concerned that its food stocks will run out at the same time as the Sudan's dry season begins. The drought in the Sudan has hit both the north and the south with unprecedented severity.
Dams are dry, employment opportunities are non-existent, and livestock prices have plummeted.
WFP's warehouses are almost empty and the potential for a large-scale disaster is growing.
