Sudan's Darfur Faces Famine Amid Ongoing Civil War

Conflict and restricted humanitarian aid have led to famine in Zamzam camp, affecting 500,000 people, with conditions likely to persist until October.

  • The civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has created the world's largest humanitarian crisis, displacing over 10 million people.
  • The Famine Review Committee confirmed famine conditions in Zamzam camp, with severe malnutrition and mortality rates exceeding thresholds.
  • Humanitarian aid has been blocked or looted by both warring sides, exacerbating the crisis and preventing essential supplies from reaching those in need.
  • Experts warn that other camps near el-Fasher, such as Abu Shouk and Al Salam, may also be experiencing famine-like conditions.
  • Calls for immediate ceasefire and unhindered humanitarian access have been made to prevent further deterioration and spread of famine.
