Since war broke out in Sudan at least 23 aid workers have been killed. Heartbreaking to see that 2 @ICRC staff were killed today. Humanitarians must be able to safely provide lifesaving assistance to vulnerable people to meet urgent food, nutrition, health, and protection needs.

The humanitarian crisis in Burkina Faso is dire. Communities are cut off from aid and 6.3M people need assistance. In response, @USAID is providing nearly $55M to address urgent food and nutrition needs. Our partners are working to save lives, but humanitarian access is needed.

In Sudan, nearly 5M people are at risk of famine, with both warring parties looting & blocking aid. The Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces must allow sustained, unimpeded access so aid can reach those starving and the world avert a larger crisis.

As famine looms in Sudan, the hungry eat soil and leaves

Nearly 5 million people are one step from famine as the country has been devastated by war. Aid officials say warring parties are blocking humanitarian relief.
