The ongoing conflict in Sudan is rapidly pushing millions of people already facing hunger, further toward the brink of famine. Shockingly, estimates suggest that severe malnutrition threatens at least 730,000 children who could die in the coming months. The conflict has displaced over 8.5 million people, 6.5 million within the country, leading to chronic disruptions to agricultural production while hindering access to critical food supplies. Reports indicate that 90% of the people facing acute hunger are in hard-to-reach areas.
