Seventeen areas in Sudan, including Darfur, the Nuba Mountains, Khartoum, and Gezira, are now “at risk of famine,” the UN warns. Hunger, first confirmed in North Darfur’s Zamzam camp in 2024, has worsened, especially in El Fasher, where residents face extreme shortages and some survive on animal fodder, Xinhua reported.
The World Food Programme provides digital cash to 250,000 people, but aid access remains limited. The UN urged an end to fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, which has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions since April 2023.
