    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Funding shortfalls and increasing humanitarian needs mean WFP will have to pause food for millions of displaced people and refugees in Nigeria, Central African Republic and Cameroon from December, the agency said.

    From January the suspension will be extended to Chad, a “brutal” decision that will affect “new arrivals from Sudan who will not receive food as they flee across the border”, a WFP statement said.

    Nearly half a million Sudanese have crossed into Chad since a power struggle between the two men leading Sudan’s national army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in April sent the country into war.

    This month the RSF and allied Arab militias killed at least 1,000 people from the Masalit community in the West Darfur village of Ardamata, prompting warnings of a repeat of the genocide of the early 2000s.

    Hundreds of thousands of Chad citizens are also going hungry because of the effects of the climate crisis, inter-communal tensions and rising food and fuel prices.

    The agency faces a worldwide funding crisis that has forced it to cut rations and scale back its operations in multiple countries.
