UN aid chief says 730,000 Sudanese children are thought to suffer from ‘severe’ malnutrition.N early five million people in Sudan are at risk of “catastrophic” hunger in the coming months, the United Nations has warned, calling for the country’s warring parties to allow aid deliveries.
In a note to the UN Security Council on Friday, UN aid chief Martin Griffiths said acute levels of hunger were being driven by the impact of the conflict on agricultural production, damage to major infrastructure and livelihoods, disruptions to trade, severe price hikes, impediments to humanitarian access and massive displacement.
@maynarkh yeah I think it’s not logistics so much as geopolitical inequalities.
Some populations are much more vulnerable to powwr-hungry assholes than others. Sudan’s current conflict isn’t being funded by the Sudanese.
I guess that’s what I’m saying. When people say the logistics isn’t there, they say it as if those unfortunate people wouldn’t have the money or something to build it. They don’t mention that the world’s glorious leaders love kicking the people who are down the most.
Yeah I agree with you.
I hate it when I see things like, Westerners earnestly collecting funding to “build a well for a village in Africa”.
People always knew know how to build wells and situate villages near water. That’s really not the problem. Put that do-good energy into stopping Nestle from stealing all the aquifer water or stopping Exxon from polluting it or supporting political candidates who will reign in these companies’ rapacious behaviour.
