Famine spreading in war-torn Sudan, UN-backed report says

The article from MSN, published on April 15, 2024, discusses a dire humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where famine is spreading due to ongoing conflict. According to a UN-backed report, around 755,000 people are facing catastrophic food shortages, with 8.5 million more experiencing acute food insecurity. The conflict, which began in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has led to widespread displacement, with over 8.6 million people displaced internally and 1.8 million fleeing to neighboring countries. The fighting has severely disrupted agriculture, markets, and aid distribution, exacerbating the food crisis. The report warns that without immediate intervention, the situation could deteriorate further, potentially leading to widespread death from starvation. The international community is urged to act swiftly to provide aid and facilitate peace negotiations to halt the violence and address the humanitarian emergency.
