Additional Context: This information was collected as part of The Aid Report’s original reporting, "Volunteers struggle to feed displaced Sudanese amid US aid cuts.” Journalist Aunnab Elman reported on how funding losses and the withdrawal of international agencies have compounded an already severe displacement crisis, leaving local volunteer networks to absorb humanitarian gaps at a scale beyond their original design.

This information was provided by Dhu al-Bayt Muhammad, a coordinator with We Are All Valuable, a community-led initiative that organizes food distribution inside displacement camps in the White Nile State.
