Sudan's Zamzam Camp Faces Severe Malnutrition Crisis Amid War

Doctors Without Borders reports a dire situation with children dying daily due to lack of aid and healthcare.

  • Around 300,000 people in Sudan's Zamzam camp are isolated from essential humanitarian aid and medical care, leading to a malnutrition crisis.
  • MSF estimates 13 child deaths each day in the camp, with a mortality rate double the threshold for a humanitarian emergency.
  • The ongoing war since April 2023 between Sudan's military and paramilitary forces has caused the collapse of the region's healthcare system.
  • No food distributions from the World Food Program since May, exacerbating the hunger crisis.
  • MSF calls for a massive mobilization of the international community to prevent further deterioration of the situation.
