Humanitarian organizations have issued a joint call to protect Sudan's harvest during the critical October to January period, highlighting that this period will determine the severity of the hunger crisis in 2027. Qatar Red Crescent Society has launched a multi-specialty medical convoy in Sudan, deploying a medical delegation to perform surgeries for displaced and underprivileged patients at Bahri Teaching Hospital.

Conflict, displacement, and poor and erratic rainfall are threatening Sudan's harvest, exacerbating an already severe hunger crisis. Funding for the humanitarian response remains well below requirements.

Millions of people face worsening hunger in 2027 due to ongoing conflict and displacement. Medical services are being provided to displaced and underprivileged patients through a new medical convoy.

Specific details on the number of people affected by the medical convoy's services are not yet covered in recent reporting.
