Sudan's Crisis Deepens: Hunger Threatens Millions Amid Ongoing Conflict
As the war between government forces and paramilitaries continues, international aid falls short, leaving millions on the brink of famine.
- Nearly a year into the conflict, Sudan faces the world's largest hunger crisis, with close to 25 million people requiring humanitarian assistance.
- The war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and the largest population of internally displaced people globally.
- Aid efforts are severely hindered, with a U.N. humanitarian appeal receiving only 5% of required funds and reports of aid shipments being blocked and warehouses looted.
- The conflict has led to a catastrophic decline in food production and skyrocketing food prices, pushing millions to the brink of famine.
- International attention to the crisis is lacking, despite the severe humanitarian situation and calls for global action to prevent a hunger crisis.
