Global report warns that Sudan is reaching the worst levels of severe food insecurity

[27/06/2024 06:09]

KHARTOUM - SABA
An international report warned that Sudan is facing the worst recorded levels of severe food insecurity, and it is expected that more than half of the population will face worse conditions during the period between June and September 2024.

According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report issued today, in which humanitarian agencies participated, the risk of famine is looming in 14 regions, affecting both local populations and the displaced persons and refugees in Greater Darfur, Greater Kordofan, and the states of Al-Jazeera and some points in Khartoum.

It is likely that at least 534,000 internally displaced persons and refugees in the affected localities and states - representing about 20% of the displaced population in Sudan - will face critical or catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity.

The report pointed out that conflict, insecurity, displacement, and economic shocks are the main causes of food insecurity.

The spread of conflict and insecurity has led to a complex food crisis that continues to affect the lives of millions of people due to movement restrictions, disruption of markets and basic services, disruption of agricultural production and livelihoods, and reduced access to humanitarian aid.
