Abstract

• In July 2025, WFP reached 3.3 million people. This includes 2.5 million receiving in-kind food assistance and 514,000 receiving cashbased transfers (CBT) – of which 200,000 received hot meals through Emergency Response Rooms. 
• Funding shortfalls are severely impacting operations, leading to the suspension of assistance in some displacement camps where families have depended on WFP support since the onset of the conflict. These disruptions, coming during the lean season, further compound the humanitarian crisis. In addition to financial constraints, WFP faced bureaucratic obstacles, particularly delays in permit approvals for access and movement, which has hindered timely ability to reach vulnerable populations. 
• In July, WFP further prioritized assistance to the most vulnerable communities, focusing on areas with the highest levels of need as a result of funding shortfalls. • On 13 July, two explosions occurred in Al Fula (West Kordofan) – near a WFP convoy – resulting in a significant number of casualties. Two commercial truck drivers and the convoy leader received non-life-threatening injuries. The food and trucks, en route to distribution centers in West Kordofan, were not affected.
