Back to international reporting from the edge of Sudan’s catastrophic war.

Staggered by the size of this disaster. Humanitarians say more than 21 million people, 41 percent of Sudan’s population need food…that in some areas, including Darfur, the desperation is so acute, children are already dying from hunger.

We document the stories of survivors who’ve fled for their lives and also compassion tonight, in an interview with @IAmAmnaNawaz on PBS @NewsHour in 6pm ET hour.

I really enjoyed speaking to The World, on public radio, about humanity this week.

@JoeMiechowicz Thank you Joe. Well enough in this busy, chaotic time. Same to you!

Might you have 4 minutes to read my essay in the NYT? I hope to learn your thoughts and engage in conversation, here on X at 12:45 pm eastern, about this reporting…gifted below to remove the paywall:

@golden_peggy So many in our world now need the compassion you express. I hope at least none are forgotten. Thank you for your heart Peggy.

[Ann Curry @AnnCurry]

@TommyLyles This is an excellent point. I don’t think I do that here. Here is another “gifted” link. Gosh I hope it works. If not, I am sorry:

@BasuAshis Thank you Ashis. I know we all have too much on our plates. I hope we can at least hold to our humanity.

@UNReliefChief Bravo Tom, growing awareness about this catastrophe.

@melik_b Nyachol now lives with her grandmother in a new settlement, the land set aside by the government of South Sudan, the homes built with a little help from @refugees. May she rise.

[Ann Curry @AnnCurry]

You might not immediately guess what this 10-year-old has already experienced, that even before having to survive the war in Sudan, she lost both her parents, that only after humanitarians intervened, did she find a home with her grandmother.

What is impossible to miss about Nyachol, is her exceedingly bright mind, curious and insatiable, learning even a new language: English. She was thrilled to show American humanitarian Kate Loomis, her latest test score.

@stuart_oneill Thank you for your suggestion Stuart. I have returned to the US. Appreciate your compassion. Ann

“My dear, run to safety, go to the children,” her husband said, moments before he was killed.

Julia wants him to know she saved their children from Sudan’s catastrophic war. A Christian, she prays: “God, let them grow up.”

@allthatferguson Actually, there is reason to suspect the UAE is involved. Gifting you this recent NYT investigation to read:

[Ann Curry @AnnCurry]

It’s a humanitarian funding failure. The US, once a strong funder of UN humanitarian causes, has massively cut its giving. Other nations have not remotely filled the gap. Practically, this means less food, water, shelter and medicines.

[Ann Curry @AnnCurry]

We can care, which matters more than we might think, especially to survivors. We can talk about it/help others become aware.

If we are able, we can donate. UNHCR is a major lifeline inside Sudan and in neighboring countries. ICRC is also on the scene, as is the World Food Program.

Humanitarian aid from the world’s governments is what is most needed.

[Ann Curry @AnnCurry]

I don’t know. I would be surprised if the network has not reporting something about it.

Generally, in its struggle to survive, traditional media is increasingly prioritizing what you want to know over what you need to know. News managers often underestimate what we can care about.
