Sudan's famine risk worsened by conflict, draught and funding shortages, report says

A global food crisis monitor warned on Monday that ongoing conflict and drought are severely worsening food insecurity across the Darfur and Kordofan regions of Sudan, elevating the risk of famine. The situation marks a significant deterioration in humanitarian conditions within these areas.

The crisis is further exacerbated by critical funding shortages, according to the report. These combined factors are compounding the challenges faced by populations in greater Darfur and Kordofan as the humanitarian situation continues to worsen.
