The United Nations food agency is warning Sudan’s warring parties that there is a serious risk of widespread starvation and death if they don’t allow humanitarian aid into the vast western region.
Leni Kinzli, the World Food Program’s regional spokesperson, said that at least 1.7 million people in Darfur were experiencing emergency levels of hunger in December, and the number “is expected to be much higher today.”
Sudan plunged into chaos in mid-April 2023, when long-simmering tensions between its military and paramilitary broke out into street battles in the capital, Khartoum.
