The World - News from Jan. 9, 1986

As many as four million people face starvation in Sudan because too little food has been donated and supplies are stranded on Red Sea docks, relief agencies said. “What’s happened is that the world thinks the famine is over, and they’re wrong,” said Chris Daniel, medical director in Sudan for Oxfam, Britain’s top private relief agency. Less than half of the 400,000 tons of food relief that agencies believe that Sudan needs in 1986 has been pledged by wealthy nations and still less has been delivered, said Nick Winer, Oxfam’s field director in Sudan.
