💧First week of November: targeting 5 million children in 79 localities across 6 hard-to-reach states – the five Darfurs and West Kordofan.

In Sudan, a mother came to hospital for her malnourished child and found care for her own depression too. Mental health support belongs in every humanitarian response.

Stigma still keeps many from seeking help. Fund and protect mental health care alongside nutrition and health services across Sudan.

Families reaching this camp near El Fasher arrive exhausted and hungry.
WFP’s @FaithAwino3 explains how WFP brings emergency food and nutrition support to 800,000 people in camps surrounding EL Fasher.
Every family arriving hungry needs food, safety and sustained access. Watch WFP's video, share it, and keep El Fasher's displaced families in view.
