Serious problems in the United Nations World Food Program’s response to the Sudan crisis are hampering the organisation’s ability to alleviate hunger in the war-torn country and damaging its reputation with donors, according to a recent internal report seen by Reuters.

The UN’s main food-aid distributor, the World Food Program (WFP) is struggling to feed millions of people in the African country, which is suffering one of the world’s worst hunger crises.
