The humanitarian crisis in conflict-torn Sudan is at risk of destabilizing the region, the UN warned after declaring famine in North Darfur.
This catastrophe threatens to escalate without urgent global intervention.
Fighting between Burhan-controlled SAF and the rival Rapid Support Forces has led to famine in Zamzam camp near El-Fasher.
The UN-backed IPC review highlighted this dire situation, emphasizing the urgency for aid.
The UNHCR has urged international support for Sudan, where civil war since April 2023 has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
The crisis demands immediate attention to prevent further loss and suffering.
Mamadou Dian Balde from the UNHCR highlighted severe warnings of hunger and disease affecting displaced women, children, and men.
Over 10 million have been forcibly displaced since the war began last year.
The WHO cautions that while the IPC focuses on Zamzam, famine may be widespread in other regions of Sudan.
