Hit by war According to an impartial panel of food security specialists, Sudan is descending into a “widening famine crisis” characterized by increasing acute malnutrition and deteriorating hunger.
According to experts, famine has spread to five regions, and 24.6 million people—roughly half of the population—are in critical need of food assistance.
The 20-month civil war that has ravaged Sudan is to blame for the hunger catastrophe.
The issue between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has not been resolved by a number of mediation attempts.
In 2021, the army and RSF conducted a coup together, but in 2023, a power struggle between their commanders sparked a civil war.
