Sudanese starve as soup kitchens close and warring parties block aid

Al Jazeera  

The pause in USAID funding is exacerbating the hunger crisis in Sudan and compounding the challenge for relief workers. A portion of this sum went to supporting Emergency Response Rooms, which are neighbourhood relief groups that support hundreds of “community kitchens” across the country. “About 80 percent of the 1,460 community kitchens across Sudan were shut down,” said Hajooj Kuka, the spokesperson for the ERRs in Khartoum state. Filling the gap Since a power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces erupted into civil war in April 2023, communal kitchens have kept hundreds of thousands of people alive in regions where UN agencies and global relief organisations are unable to reach due to the wilful obstruction of aid by the warring parties, according to local and foreign relief workers. Their efforts have helped hundreds of community kitchens to reopen across the country, yet 63 percent remain shuttered since the US government paused most foreign aid, said Kuka.
