Ukraine war’s impact on wheat threatens hunger in Sudan: aid group – Roya News English

More than 80 percent of Sudan's wheat imports are at risk after Russia's military operation in Ukraine, an aid group warns, exacerbating economic and humanitarian crises that deepened after last year's military takeover, AFP reprted.

Fighting and sanctions have disrupted grain shipments from Russia and Ukraine, which between them account for nearly 30 percent of global wheat exports, threatening hunger and social upheaval in many countries.

The impact will be especially severe in Sudan, one of the world's poorest countries, where a military coup in October led by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan brought fresh turmoil and saw Western donor countries cut aid.
