UN warns Sudan aid network may collapse within weeks without funding
The UN says its logistics system for delivering aid to Sudan could collapse within weeks unless it receives immediate funding, affecting a network of more than 100 NGOs.
The United Nations warned that a key system for bringing aid into conflict-torn Sudan risked collapsing unless more funding arrives immediately.
Amy Pope, head of the International Organization for Migration, said: “The entire humanitarian system could collapse within weeks if we don’t act now.” She added that without new funding, aid groups would not be able to get help where it is needed most.
The IOM runs the Common Humanitarian Pipeline logistics system, which it says allows a network of more than 100 national and international NGOs to bring supplies into the country.
Since the war began, the IOM said the system had reached 2.84 million people. But it warned that its reach had been shrinking because of falling funds, even as needs remain at an all-time high.
The conflict between Sudan’s regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces erupted in April 2023. Aid workers estimate it has killed more than 200,000 people and created the world’s largest hunger and displacement crisis.
