At least 25 million people are struggling with soaring rates of hunger and malnutrition as the crisis in Sudan sends shockwaves around the region, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) warns today, with thousands of families being displaced and forced across borders into Chad and South Sudan each week.
Sudan’s war has triggered the world’s largest hunger crisis, as the fighting continues to devastate lives and livelihoods. More than half the population (26 million) is now facing acute hunger – including 755,000 people facing catastrophic conditions, with hunger-related deaths already being recorded. One in every two Sudanese is struggling to put enough food on their plates every single day.
