Sudan's Famine Risk Worsened by Conflict, Draught and Funding Shortages, Report Says
The IPC said 19.5 million people faced high acute food insecurity in May as conflict, drought and crop failures deepened malnutrition and famine risk.
- On Monday, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification warned that conflict and drought are worsening food insecurity across Sudan's Darfur and Kordofan regions, describing a "deteriorating humanitarian situation."
- Sudan's war, which erupted in April 2023 between the military and the Rapid Support Forces , has displaced about 13 million people and killed at least 150,000, pushing parts of the country into famine.
- In North Darfur, delayed rains and "critically low" food stocks have intensified insecurity, as poor vegetation growth affects 64% of croplands, according to the IPC.
- Approximately 135,000 people are in Phase 5, the most severe classification of food shortages, while children admitted for severe acute malnutrition in Nyala doubled to 11% between January and August.
- Farmers are relying increasingly on markets and assistance as livelihoods shift, the IPC noted, warning that food insecurity, malnutrition, and excess mortality will likely intensify without a significant increase in aid.
