Famine in Sudan. Millions more Sudanese are set to go hungry this year. The rising levels of hunger forecast by United Nations agencies threaten to further destabilise Sudan.
Millions more Sudanese are set to go hungry this year as economic turmoil and erratic rains drive up prices and reduce harvests, with a halt to foreign assistance and the war in Ukraine putting food supplies at further risk.
The rising levels of hunger forecast by United Nations agencies threaten to further destabilise a country that faces growing conflict and poverty following a military coup.
Save The Children has issued a serious warning regarding the food situation in Sudan. Almost half of the population will be affected this year. More than 80 percent of Sudan’s wheat imports are at risk as a result of the conflict in Ukraine.
“It doesn’t look good at all,” the WFP’s deputy country director in Sudan, Marianne Ward, said in an interview. “People are just not going to be able to afford their basic food basket.”
