Watan-Sudan is facing an unprecedented humanitarian disaster following U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to freeze humanitarian aid, threatening the lives of thousands of Sudanese who rely on this assistance to survive. The decision, which came amid the escalating war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, has worsened the humanitarian crisis and led to the closure of hundreds of relief centers and soup kitchens that used to feed tens of thousands daily.
According to humanitarian organizations, this decision could lead to a catastrophic famine, as 25 million Sudanese suffer from severe food insecurity while the number of displaced persons has exceeded 12 million due to the ongoing war.
American aid had been a lifeline for many devastated areas, but after its suspension, relief organizations were forced to halt their operations, which could result in the deaths of thousands from starvation in the coming months.
The U.S. decision has drawn widespread criticism from human rights and aid organizations, which argue that American policies toward Sudan are now endangering innocent lives. Jawed Abdel Moneim, head of the medical team at Doctors Without Borders, described the decision as an additional catastrophe that will cause horrific humanitarian suffering, stressing that halting aid puts millions at risk, especially children and the elderly.
Despite the Trump administration’s justification that the decision does not affect emergency cases, the reality on the ground points to an imminent disaster, as aid organizations operating in Sudan have not received any additional support, leaving them unable to provide food and essential aid. As this crisis worsens, attention is turning to the international community and its ability to pressure Washington to reconsider its decision before Sudan becomes the world’s next famine hotspot.

Will Trump reverse his decision, or will the Sudanese people pay the price for U.S. policies? And will international organizations step in to save millions from starvation before it’s too late?
