Soup kitchens have sprung up on street corners in the center of cities like Omdurman , Sudan .

Many of the soup kitchens have been funded by the U.S. Nearly 80% of them shut down quickly following President Trump 's suspension of foreign aid.

"We rely on God and aid," says one man who once had a lucrative business.

Dr. Mohammad was a leading orthopedic surgeon before the war started.

He lost everything when the conflict began - his home, his lucrative private practice in Khartoum , his car and his life savings.

His family fled to safety in Egypt , but he stayed behind and, for nearly two years , has been running the hospital without pay.
