US EditionSudan Civil War Overwhelms Border Town in Neighbor Chad as Refugees Find Little Help
SUDAN, JUN 29 – Multiple checkpoints along the River Nile force boat owners to stop operations, cutting off access to basic goods and halting United Nations food aid deliveries in conflict-affected areas.
- On June 30, 2025, the UN World Food Programme warned that a severe shortage of food aid threatens the large number of Sudanese refugees who have sought shelter in neighboring countries such as Chad amid ongoing conflict.
- The crisis follows a conflict that erupted in April 2023 between Sudan’s national army and paramilitary rebels, forcing over four million people to flee mainly to Chad, Egypt, and South Sudan amid funding shortfalls.
- Refugees, many severely malnourished before arrival, endure harsh conditions with shortages in food, water, and shelter, while camps face ongoing attacks and host countries like Chad strain under increasing arrivals.
- WFP’s emergency coordinator Shaun Hughes described "a full-blown regional crisis" stressing that food aid may face "drastic cuts" or "grind to a halt" without new funding, amid a 60% humanitarian funding gap and diminishing resources.
- Without urgent international support, food ration reductions and aid suspension risk worsening hunger and malnutrition, especially among children, highlighting the need for over $200 million to sustain refugee assistance across affected countries.
