حَذَّرَ بَرْنَامَجُ الْأَغْذِيَةِ الْعَالَمِيُّ، يَوْمَ السَّابِعِ عَشَرَ مِنْ يُولْيُو ٢٠٢٦، مِنْ تَدَهْوُرِ الْوَضْعِ الْإِنْسَانِيِّ فِي مَدِينَةِ الْأُبَيِّضِ. وَهِيَ عَاصِمَةُ وِلَايَةِ شَمَالِ كُرْدُفَانَ فِي السُّودَانِ. وَقَالَ الْبَرْنَامَجُ إِنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ تَسْتَقْبِلُ مِئَاتِ الْآلَافِ مِنَ النَّازِحِينَ.
وَزَادَ وُصُولُ هٰؤُلَاءِ النَّازِحِينَ الضَّغْطَ عَلَى الْخِدْمَاتِ وَالْمَوَارِدِ الْمَحْدُودَةِ. وَيَعَانِي السُّكَّانُ نَقْصًا فِي الْغِذَاءِ وَالْمِيَاهِ وَالْوَقُودِ. كَمَا أَنَّ مُخَيَّمَاتِ النُّزُوحِ مُمْتَلِئَةٌ، بَيْنَمَا تَصِلُ أُسَرٌ جَدِيدَةٌ يَوْمِيًّا مِنْ كُرْدُفَانَ وَدَارْفُورَ.
وَيُوَاجِهُ نَحْوُ أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ أَلْفِ شَخْصٍ فِي الْأُبَيِّضِ وَالْمَنَاطِقِ الْمُجَاوِرَةِ نَقْصًا حَادًّا فِي الْغِذَاءِ. وَيُقَدِّمُ الْبَرْنَامَجُ مُسَاعَدَاتٍ لِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِئَةِ أَلْفِ شَخْصٍ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، لٰكِنَّ نَقْصَ التَّمْوِيلِ خَفَّضَ حِصَصَهُمُ الْغِذَائِيَّةَ إِلَى النِّصْفِ.
وَيَسْتَطِيعُ الْبَرْنَامَجُ نَقْلَ الْغِذَاءِ إِلَى الْمِنْطَقَةِ، لٰكِنَّ الْقِتَالَ وَنَقْصَ التَّمْوِيلِ يُقَيِّدَانِ عَمَلَهُ. وَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى دَعْمٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ وَوُصُولٍ آمِنٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِ مُسَاعَدَةِ عَدَدٍ أَكْبَرَ مِنَ الْأُسَرِ خِلَالَ الْأَشْهُرِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ.

World Food Programme Warns of Worsening Hunger in El Obeid
On July 17, 2026, the World Food Programme warned of a worsening humanitarian situation in El Obeid. The city is the capital of Sudan’s North Kordofan State. The programme said the city was receiving hundreds of thousands of displaced people.
The arrival of these displaced people has increased pressure on limited services and resources. Residents are experiencing shortages of food, water, and fuel. Displacement camps are also full, while new families arrive daily from Kordofan and Darfur.
Around 400,000 people in El Obeid and neighbouring areas face severe food shortages. The programme provides assistance to more than 100,000 people in the city, but funding shortages have reduced their food rations by half.
The programme can transport food into the area, but fighting and funding shortages restrict its work. It said that it needs continued support and safe access in order to help more families during the coming months.
