UN Warns Sudan Faces Catastrophic Starvation Crisis

Over 600,000 people are on the brink of famine as conflict and humanitarian collapse devastate the nation.

The United Nations reports that famine has taken hold in five areas of Sudan, with 600,000 people at immediate risk of starvation.
The ongoing war between Sudan's military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has displaced over 12 million people, creating the world's largest displacement crisis.
Humanitarian operations, including those by the World Food Programme and Doctors Without Borders, have been suspended in key areas like Zamzam camp due to escalating violence.
Sudan's healthcare system is collapsing, with less than 30% of facilities operational and disease outbreaks, including cholera, spreading in displacement camps.
UN officials call for urgent international action to end the conflict, deliver aid, and restore agricultural capacity to prevent further mass deaths.
