The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) said Tuesday that it has secured $1.4 million to treat and prevent malnutrition across Sudan and South Sudan.
The WFP said the funding will help more than 35,000 children and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers impacted by conflicts, economic shocks and climate events, almost 29,000 people in Sudan who have been caught up in the war, and almost 6,000 in South Sudan who are impacted by an ongoing humanitarian crisis driven by conflicts and economic and climate crises.
