Additional Context: This information was collected as part of The Aid Report’s original reporting, "Volunteers struggle to feed displaced Sudanese amid U.S. aid cuts.” Journalist Aunnab Elman reported on how funding losses and the withdrawal of international agencies have compounded an already severe displacement crisis in Sudan, leaving local volunteer networks to absorb humanitarian gaps at a scale beyond their original design. This quote is attributed to Alaman Ali Mohammed, who coordinates food distribution at Azhari Al-Mubarak camp on behalf of Emergency Response Rooms, a network of volunteer-led community groups providing food distribution and basic services across Sudan's displacement camps.

Although Sudan initially retained more U.S. funding than other countries, legacy USAID programs have steadily expired. As of late 2025, only 37% of Sudan's humanitarian funding requirements were being met. By July 2026, the cumulative monthly funding loss is projected to reach $13.6 million, according to the Sudan INGO Forum.

Devex Researcher Note: In a January 2026 press release, the WFP confessed it was “forced to reduce rations to the absolute minimum” in Sudan, stating rations would only last through March of that year.
