Conflict, drought increasing risk of famine in Sudan: Monitor
Africa2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported24m ago
UN experts have warned that the risk of famine is escalating across Sudan due to a combination of ongoing conflict, El Nino-induced drought, and a critical shortage of humanitarian resources. The drought currently affects approximately half of the country, exacerbating the impacts of a three-year war that has caused widespread displacement and reduced food availability.
These compounding factors have created a severe humanitarian crisis. The situation is characterized by a significant decline in food security, as the intersection of environmental stressors and military instability continues to hinder aid delivery and local agricultural production.
