Aid workers are concerned that new regulations from Sudan's army-backed government will restrict local relief efforts amidst a severe hunger crisis impacting 25 million people. A directive from Khartoum state mandates that all relief initiatives must register with the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) and pay a registration fee, which could discourage grassroots aid workers from helping civilians in need. This move raises fears of arrests among local volunteers who have been crucial in responding to the humanitarian needs since the onset of civil conflict in April 2023.
The new regulations announced by Sudan's army-backed government could lead to a crackdown on local relief volunteers, worsening the hunger crisis affecting 25 million people.
Registration with the Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) will require payment and could deter grassroots efforts to provide essential aid amidst the ongoing conflict.
