Bericht von World Vision, 2.7.2026 (engl. Original)
What was once a country with the capacity to feed millions is now facing the world’s largest displacement disaster and a catastrophic hunger crisis. Sudan is often narrowly defined by drought and crisis, yet this is only part of the story and masks a more profound and tragic reality – especially for children.
Today, over 26 million children live in Sudan, a country that possesses the natural potential to be a global agricultural powerhouse, capable not only of feeding its own people but securing food for the entire region. And yet this generation of children is now at the centre of one of the most devastating humanitarian collapses in the world. Sudan should be a place of abundance.
It is blessed with vast fertile plains, major river systems, and a deep history of cultivation. International investors, particularly from Gulf countries seeking to anchor their own food security in Sudan’s soil, have long recognised the country’s promise, particularly in large-scale farming systems such as the Gezira Schemea – one of the world’s largest irrigation networks – alongside the highly productive rain-fed regions across Darfur, Kordofan, and eastern Sudan.
But for children, this promise has unravelled. At the foundation of this collapse lies a fragile system, weakened over decades by underinvestment in roads, storage, irrigation, and markets and compounded by climate pressures and governance challenges. Since the onset of conflict in April 2023, that fragility has given way to systemic breakdown. What we are witnessing is not only a political or economic crisis, but the dismantling of the systems children and their families depend on to survive.
