The ongoing war in Sudan has led to a looming famine that threatens the lives of millions. Despite the urgent need for aid, the international community has only funded less than 15% of the required assistance. This leaves 2.5 million people in Sudan at risk of death by September if the situation does not improve. As a journalist, I wanted to explore what strategies the Sudanese people are employing to address this crisis and fill the gap left by insufficient international support.
In this episode of The Take, listeners can learn about the efforts being made by individuals and communities in Sudan to combat famine. The production credits for this episode include Ashish Malhotra, Chloe K Li, and Sonia Bhagat as producers, along with Duha Mossad and Sarí el-Khalili.

Despite these challenges, there are many inspiring stories of resilience and determination from individuals in Sudan who are working tirelessly to help those affected by famine. From volunteering their time to organizing food drives or providing medical care to those in need, these heroes deserve recognition for their efforts.
It’s important that we continue to support these initiatives both on an individual level and through organizations that focus on humanitarian aid. By working together towards a common goal, we can make a difference in helping those affected by famine in Sudan and ensuring that they receive the help they need.
The war in Sudan has had devastating consequences on many innocent lives. However, it’s not too late for us all to come together to help those who have been affected by famine. Let’s continue to listen to their stories and work towards finding solutions that will bring hope back into their lives.
