Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

World Food Programme: Sudan Could Soon Face “World’s Largest Hunger Crisis”

HeadlineMar 06, 2024

The World Food Programme has warned the ongoing conflict in Sudan could trigger “the world’s largest hunger crisis” unless fighting between the Sudanese military and Rapid Support Forces comes to an end. Agency officials said Wednesday more than 25 million people scattered across Sudan, South Sudan and Chad are facing severe food insecurity. Meanwhile, worsening violence has blocked humanitarian aid workers from accessing most Sudanese communities experiencing “emergency levels of hunger.” Aid deliveries from Chad into the western Sudan border have been halted after Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said there were concerns RSF fighters had carried out arms transfers in that border.
