Highlights
- WFP assisted 3.6 million people through its life saving and life changing interventions. 1.2 million people reached in December were in areas projected as facing or at risk of famine, covering 94 percent of the 1.3 million food-insecure population in those locations.
- In 2025, WFP reached an average of 4 million people each month, despite severe access constraints and insecurity, with total transfers amounting to 325,000 mt of in-kind food and USD 146 million worth of cash-based transfers (CBT) – an over two-fold increment compared to 143,000 mt of food and USD 56 million CBT distributed in 2024. Monthly assistance peaked in May, when WFP reached 5.6 million vulnerable people in Sudan.
- WFP has deployed a cross-functional team and set up mobile storage units in Tawila to better coordinate food assistance deliveries.
- In December, WFP launched a pilot of the Home- Grown School Feeding programme in South and Central Darfur, marking the region’s first school feeding initiative since the onset of conflict. WFP has also continued its CBT emergency malnutrition prevention pilot programme, benefiting 7,000 children under five and PBWG in Khartoum State.
