UN Appeals for $6 Billion to Tackle Sudan’s Hunger Crisis

The United Nations has requested $6 billion in aid for Sudan this year, citing the world’s worst hunger crisis and massive displacement caused by ongoing civil war. Reuters indicates that the appeal marks a 40% increase from last year, coming at a time when global aid budgets are under pressure, partly due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent funding freeze, which has impacted critical humanitarian programs worldwide.
