UN warns conflict and drought raise famine risk in Sudan
Original: Conflict, drought increasing risk of famine in Sudan: UN
The United Nations has warned that the combination of ongoing conflict and severe drought is increasing the risk of famine in Sudan. The war, which began in April 2023 between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, has displaced millions and destroyed agriculture, while drought is compounding food shortages. Aid agencies say humanitarian access remains badly restricted, leaving much of the population in acute hunger.
Why now: Sudan's war has created one of the world's largest hunger crises, and fresh UN warnings keep the situation in the spotlight.
