Najat fled Sudan’s war. When she returned, her bakery was in ruins. Now, after a small grant from @SwissDevCoop, she’s baking again, feeding a war-torn community. "Many can’t afford 5 loaves of bread. We still need support."

#Sudan: Food insecurity is severe in Kordofan, Nuba Mountains, & Darfur, with areas like El Fasher and Zamzam camp being inaccessible, said @NRC_Norway's @AgnesMaiV. Many survive on just one meal a day, and some resort to sucking on coal to ease hunger. 🔗

“People surviving on boiled weeds, millet porridge, or sucking coal to curb hunger. Aid can’t reach places like Zamzam camp,” NRC's @AgnesMaiV told @Independent. Sudan's facing world’s worst hunger crisis & we’re being blocked from reaching those in need.

Paulo fled Mocímboa da Praia, he left everything behind. The gunfire. The bombings. The dead on the road. A small grant helped him start a cinema. The films bring people together. The income helps him rebuild. Most in #Mozambique have no support at all. 🔗
