Famine spreads to two more areas in Sudan, the top global hunger authority says
- Monday the IPC announced famine has spread to two regions, detecting it in el-Fasher, a city in Darfur, and Kadugli, a city in South Kordofan province.
- After the RSF took el-Fasher in October, reports show sieges like the 18-month blockade worsened food access, leading to famine in the region.
- The IPC found more than 21 million people, or 45% of Sudan's population, faced acute food insecurity as of September, including about 375,000 in famine and 6.3 million in IPC Phase 4.

- The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification noted this is its second famine declaration in less than a year, with twenty other areas in Darfur and Kordofan also at risk amid livelihood collapse.
