US withdraws aid – 1,000 emergency kitchens have closed
Since the US withdrew large parts of its humanitarian aid, almost 80 percent of all emergency kitchens in Sudan have been forced to close, reports the BBC.
On February 3, Donald Trump introduced an executive order that closed large parts of the aid agency USAID. Since then, 1,000 kitchens have been forced to close in Sudan. Two million people have been affected.
- People are screaming with hunger, says Duaa Tariq, who organizes emergency kitchens on his own.
The civil war in Sudan broke out in 2023 between the military and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces, RSF. The country is currently experiencing the world's largest famine. In 2024, the US was the largest donor to the country.
