World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director Cindy McCain warned Sunday of the worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan.

In an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” McCain stressed the importance of “safe and unfettered access” for the organization to deliver food to the war-torn country.

country.

“Sudan has the real possibility of becoming the world’s largest humanitarian crisis,” McCain said. “We cannot get food in — we can barely get food in — we certainly aren’t getting it in at scale, and you see the results of what can happen if people aren’t fed.”

McCain noted that the situation is likely to get more difficult in the coming months, saying, “We’re also coming into the lean season, which makes it very difficult many times for our trucks to even operate if they can get in.”

When you keep having more mouths to feed than food to feed them - this is what Nature says will happen.

Trust the science.

“We cannot get OPERATIVES in — we can barely get WEAPONS in — we certainly aren’t getting it in at scale, and you see the results of what can happen if people aren’t AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER.”

likely a fairly accurate translation. The only thing you missed was "WE NEED MORE MONEY TO SKIM

Sudan- the Muslim ruled country that sends hordes of mounted janjaweed to harass and murder Christians and animists wherever they can find them, not South Sudan ?

Sudan, where the Intel services of Saddam’s Iraq, Iran, and al Qaeda’s bin Laden met to coordinate attacks on the US and her allies?

Sudan, where the child slaves of bin Laden labored to grow marijuana on the farms he owned there?

Sudan, home of Turabi’s NIF, a political party connected to palestinian Islamic radicals in Florida?

The reason they want to bring food in, is because they know that if there is no food, there will be hordes of refugees fleeing Sudan and headed for neighboring countries that are easy to destabilize and then to Europe, which will strain countries in Europe that are already loaded with refugees.
Russia and Iran have a great deal of influence in Sudan and creating a refugee crisis to overwhelm Europe fits their MO elsewhere, such as in South and Central America and Cuba. They have been encouraging this stuff since the success of the Mariel boatlift.

Russia certainly likes to intervene there, and Jas throughout the Cold War, which is one reason they never get any peace :

“...Wagner forces aren’t in Sudan just to get paid. They are there to get gold from Sudan’s mining operations which can be used to help Russia fund the war in Ukraine.

Russia’s plundering of Sudan’s gold goes back to 2014 after the annexation of Crimea when sanctions were placed on Russia. Gold is obviously difficult to transport but it also can’t be stopped by sanctions. Best estimates are that Russia may have siphoned off as much as 32 tons of gold from Sudan in the past decade, with a value of about $1.9 billion....”

Gold is obviously difficult to transport

400 oz gold bar
This 400 oz gold bar, at $2,000 per oz gold, is worth the $800,000 cash beside it. The gold bar is extremely heavy, weighing more than three full milk jugs.

This, full, has 108 gallons of milk which would weigh as much as 36 gold bars worth 288 million dollars, which would occupy a much smaller volume.

The world turned a blind eye to the genocide of two million black Christian and animist that the Arabs perpetrated in southern Sudan. Now, McCain, it is the turn of the Arab and Islamic tribes of the north.
