WFP Chief McCain Describes the Hunger and Refugee Conditions in Sudan and Chad: It’s the Forgotten Crisis Now

EXCERPT:

McCAIN: "Well, quite frankly, it's the forgotten crisis now. Sudan is no longer paid attention to in the world media, and things haven't stopped there. People are still fighting, there is no food. We have no access. And we're also fighting a climate change issue there, as well. So it's almost a combination of a perfect storm. With 2.2 million refugees across the borders, in various countries, especially Chad, and the funding sources that we have right now and our ability to be able to fund, it just isn't meshing. We don't have enough money. And we need to be able to make sure that we can feed the refugees that are across the border, and also get access into Sudan from this -- from the western side, the southern side, through South Sudan, and through the north. We've got to get food in there, as well, because it can be and will be — I hope not, I pray not — the next largest humanitarian crisis that we will know."
