More than half of Sudan 's 30 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.

President Donald Trump 's 90-day freeze on all foreign aid could not have come at a worse time for Sudan .

A network of communal kitchens has had to immediately stop most of its operations due to a lack of funding.

The kitchens have been able to provide food, medicine and other basic supplies to people in parts of Sudan unreachable by aid agencies.

The cost of operating the kitchens was around $20 million a year, the ERR communications officer said.

The localized ad-hoc nature of the work is also what made them vulnerable to U.S. funding cuts.

The ERRs often relied on purchasing goods directly from local markets.
