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.
