Sudan: General Coordination for Displaced People Warns of Deepening Food Insecurity in Sudan

What the report says

The General Coordination for Displaced People and Refugees Camps has warned that Sudan is moving deeper into a food crisis as war, rising prices and falling agricultural output strain millions of civilians and displaced families. The warning was carried in a Dabanga report distributed by AllAfrica and dated 8 September 2026, with the group describing the situation as more than a temporary shortage and instead a daily emergency for people already affected by conflict.

According to the report, the group said grain and other basic goods have become far more expensive, while local production has weakened sharply. Its spokesperson, Adam Rijal, said the war has driven mass displacement, damaged livelihoods, and disrupted markets and infrastructure. He also pointed to currency pressure and reduced transaction discounts through the Bankak application as additional burdens on households. The report says the agricultural season is at risk, and that famine could become more likely if conditions continue to deteriorate.

The organization also said aid delivery to conflict-affected areas remains difficult, leaving many communities facing hunger, fear, and disease. It urged the warring sides to change course and called on humanitarian agencies to act quickly with food, medicine, water, and shelter. It further appealed to the wider international community to respond to the needs of civilians.

More broadly, the report reflects a familiar pattern in Sudan’s war: displacement, market collapse and blocked aid routes have combined to worsen food insecurity. The article frames the current situation as a potential humanitarian catastrophe if there is no effective response.
