UN World Food Programme calls for immediate end to Sudan war as famine crisis deepens.

The World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director Luke Lindberg has urged an immediate end to the conflict in Sudan, where millions face worsening hunger and famine. Following his first visit to the country, Lindberg appealed for urgent international funding, stating that the war, which began in April 2023, has created the world's largest humanitarian crisis, leaving approximately 34 million people in need of assistance. The WFP requires $520 million to provide food aid to 5.4 million people through April 2027.
