“We fled to peace but now suffer from hunger” - Tumsifu, mother of 7, fled from #Congo to #Uganda’s Nakivale camp. Now her children cry from hunger, aid is scarce & hope is fading. She wishes to return to Congo, to get food. Uganda’s refugee crisis is real & it’s being forgotten.

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.

As food prices skyrocket in Sudan, cash shortages forced @NRC_Norway to switch from cash assistance to vouchers just to keep families alive. “Affordability is a huge challenge,” said NRC's @AgnesMaiV. War, access restrictions, and hunger are a deadly mix.

“I was a lawyer. Now I make soap to survive.”. Uganda’s refugee system is built for farmers. But Sudan’s war has sent urban professionals fleeing, and they’re falling through the cracks. Read our latest briefing note:

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. 🔗
