Credited from: SCMP

  • The Sudanese government has dismissed a UN-supported report stating that famine has impacted five regions amid ongoing conflict.
  • The report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification indicated that 638,000 people are facing famine conditions, with an additional 8.1 million at risk of starvation.
  • The government criticized the report as speculative and alleged the IPC did not properly consult them or access current field data.
  • Authorities have been accused of hindering international aid efforts, as the war has led to major food insecurity, with over 24.6 million people affected nationwide.
  • Since April 2023, the Sudanese government has operated from Port Sudan while Khartoum remains a conflict zone.
