Government Corruption Worsens Humanitarian Crisis In War-Torn Sudan

The military-led administration in Port Sudan has been diverting aid meant for displaced civilians to be sold on the market

Reports have emerged revealing that food aid arriving in Sudan has been sold on the market instead of distributed to those in need, exposing corruption within the military-led government in Port Sudan and worsening the country’s already dire humanitarian crisis.

Transparency International’s October 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) reported that corruption in the Port Sudan government has exceeded $4.6 billion in humanitarian and financial aid.

Aid being diverted away from desperate civilians and entering markets has worsened hunger in displacement shelters across army-controlled eastern, northern, and central Sudan. Though considered safe zones, displaced people in these areas depend on free kitchens funded by donations.

The Famine Review Committee under the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) reported in December 2024 that famine conditions exist in at least five locations, including North Darfur and the western Nuba Mountains in South Kordofan.

The UN estimates that 25 million people – more than half the population – face acute food insecurity, including over 11 million displaced by two years of conflict, with no ceasefire in sight. Sudan’s military has rejected all peace initiatives.
