Over 750,000 people in Sudan at risk of starvation: Global hunger monitor

Al Jazeera  

United Nations’ hunger monitoring system says there’s a risk of famine in 14 areas of Sudan if the conflict escalates. There is a risk of famine in 14 areas across Sudan if the conflict between military factions escalates, a global hunger monitor has said, noting that it faces “the worst levels of acute food insecurity” ever recorded in the country. In its assessment published on Thursday, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification said after more than a year of war, some 755,000 people are facing “catastrophe”, the most severe level of extreme hunger, while 8.5 million people, or 18 percent of the population, grapple with food shortages that could result in acute malnutrition and death. The IPC said approximately 25.6 million people are likely to experience high levels of acute food insecurity between June and September. Reporting from Omdurman, Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan said that many people in Sudan depend on community kitchens to survive after the conflict broke out in April last year.
