Sudan famine risk rises as war and drought grip Darfur, Kordofan

Conflict and an El Nino-induced drought affecting roughly half of Sudan are deepening famine risk in Darfur and Kordofan, the IPC food crisis monitor warned. It cited scarce healthcare, water and food, with acute malnutrition worsening in Nyala and displacement camps. In May, 19.5 million people faced high acute food insecurity, including 135,000 at the most severe phase.
