Malnutrition Crisis in El-Fasher Claims 63 Lives in One Week At least 63 people, mostly women and children, have died in the past week from malnutrition in Sudan’s besieged city of El-Fasher, North Darfur. Officials warn the real toll may be higher as many victims are buried without medical attention due to insecurity and lack of transport. The city, under Rapid Support Forces siege since May 2024, is facing severe food shortages, with families surviving on animal fodder or waste. Nearly 40% of children under five are acutely malnourished, and aid access remains nearly impossible. UN agencies warn of an “irreversible” catastrophe affecting an entire generation if relief is not delivered urgently. #SudanCrisis #ElFasher #HungerCrisis #HumanitarianEmergency

Peter Obi Slams ₦712.3Bn Airport Renovation Amid Soaring Hunger: "Nation-Building Isn’t Runways!" Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has blasted the Federal Government for budgeting a whopping ₦712.3 billion for airport renovation — on the same day a UN report revealed that 34 million Nigerians face hunger. Obi described the move as "profoundly troubling," questioning how such a massive sum could be justified for just one airport when millions are starving. > "A government that builds grandiose infrastructure while its people starve is not building a nation — it is betraying one,” Obi declared via X. He reminded Nigerians that in 2013, a $500 million loan upgraded five airports — making the new single-airport allocation even more suspect. Obi urged the Tinubu administration to rethink its budget priorities, stressing that food security is national security, and true development must begin with health, education, and lifting people out of poverty. #PeterObi #HungerCrisis #AirportBudget #NigeriaPriorities #712BillionNaira #TinubuAdministration
