Khartoum, Sudan — In June 2026, the World Food Programme (WFP) delivered aid to 3. 7 million Sudanese, marking the highest monthly assistance level this year. This surge in assistance is attributed to WFP’s robust logistical and procurement capabilities, which enable access to areas otherwise inaccessible due to conflict.
The program’s scale-up of both in-kind food aid and cash-based transfers (CBT) has been instrumental in reaching those in dire need. Despite this progress, the situation remains dire. One million of the assisted individuals reside in areas classified as at Risk of Famine (RoF), and WFP’s reach of 1.
4 million through CBT in June was also the highest monthly tally since the conflict’s onset.
However, the organization is addressing severe funding constraints. Without additional resources, WFP’s food stocks are projected to be depleted by September, and lifesaving CBT funding is expected to run out in August, potentially leaving millions without support.
The ongoing conflict between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which began in April 2023, has intensified food insecurity and displacement across Sudan. Over 19. 5 million people are facing crisis levels of hunger, with some regions experiencing catastrophic conditions.
The WFP’s ability to scale up its response is a testament to the resilience of its teams and partners on the ground.
Meanwhile, the international community is closely monitoring the situation.
The UK government, for instance, has expressed readiness to provide further support as needed.
The scale of displacement is significant, with nearly 9 million people having been forced from their homes. This mass migration places a heavy burden on communities and resources, further complicating the humanitarian situation.
As the situation evolves, the WFP and other humanitarian organizations are committed to providing assistance.
The coming months will be pivotal as efforts to reach those affected continue. With the support of the international community, there is hope that the humanitarian situation in Sudan can improve and that a path to peace may be found.
