Sudan Faces Looming Famine as Civil War Blocks Aid

UNICEF and aid agencies warn millions of children suffer acute malnutrition due to conflict-induced food shortages.

  • Nearly four million children in Sudan face acute malnutrition, with nine million not getting enough to eat.
  • The civil war between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces has severely restricted humanitarian aid delivery.
  • Experts predict up to two million people could die of hunger-related causes if the situation does not improve.
  • Over 10 million people have been displaced within Sudan, and another two million have fled to neighboring countries.
  • International efforts to broker peace have so far failed, leaving Sudan on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe.
