In southern #Africa , farmers plant with hope, but the #ElNino -induced drought has left their fields barren this harvest season, yielding nothing but empty granaries. Urgent action is needed!

Visited our WFP team in #Sudan to find ways to expand humanitarian access, to Darfur, Khartoum, Kordofan, Gezira & more. The window to avert catastrophe is closing. Urgent action is needed to protect civilians and to scale up life-saving assistance to people in desperate need.

As #Sudan endures over a year of relentless conflict, the specter of hunger looms larger than ever. With the lean season approaching, @WFP is deeply concerned about unprecedented levels of starvation and malnutrition. ๐Ÿšจ Urgent action is needed to prevent a catastrophe.

The window to prevent famine in #Sudan is rapidly closing without immediate action, WFP is warning. Escalating fighting in North Darfurโ€™s #ElFasher in recent days is hampering humanitarian access to the city and beyond.

#Sudan is experiencing a crisis of epic proportions after over a year of conflict. Almost 18M people are food insecure, with nearly 5M people on the brink of famine. The humanitarian community needs the funds and the access to operate in the country.
