PBS News published on 5 February 2026 an article titled "Head of Humanitarian Group Urge's Nations to Step Up Sudan Aid to Prevent 'Biblical Famine'" in interview by Nick Schifrin with Jan Egeland, secretary-general, Norwegian Refugee Council.
Due to the ongoing civil war in Sudan, the country has become the largest humanitarian crisis in the world today. Too few organizations are on the ground, and they are overstretched and underfunded. The donor community, including the United States, is not providing enough food to prevent a biblical famine. Frontline Sudanese volunteers are largely keeping people alive.
