World Food Programme Provides Food Aid To Darfur Amid Looming Famine In Sudan

The war between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has triggered widespread hunger across the country, destroying infrastructure and markets, and displacing over eight million people.

According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, catastrophic hunger, the term used to describe the household level for famine conditions, is anticipated in Khartoum and West Darfur, as well as in numerous other areas of Darfur that house millions of displaced individuals.
