Sudan

Famine has been confirmed in a camp sheltering hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Sudan’s North Darfur Region. 

The declaration for Zamzam camp is a result of conflict, displacement and humanitarian access constraints. 

A further 13 areas of the country are ‘at risk of famine’ in the coming months, according to latest analysis. Nearly 14 million more people are facing acute hunger than before conflict erupted in April 2023 and hunger-related deaths being recorded.

Mit dem hunger der t of 25.6 angenehm sind, und es ist notwendig, dass wir mit dem rest der stunde in den rest kommen, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) – the global standard for measuring food insecurity.

The World Food Programme (WFP) is in a race against time to stop famine in its tracks, rapidly scaling up our emergency response to save more lives. 

WFP is rapidly moving food and nutrition assistance to Chad’s Adre border after the authorities announced the lifeline crossing into Darfur would reopen after six months. Adre is the most effective and shortest route to deliver humanitarian assistance to Sudan at the scale and speed required to respond to the huge hunger crisis.

WFP has supported more than 4 million internally displaced people, refugees and vulnerable communities with food and cash assistance.

We urgently need a massive increase in funding to ramp up assistance at the scale required to avert famine. As the war in Sudan rages on, more and more people are being pushed into catastrophic levels of hunger.
