Sudan's Food Crisis Worsens Amid Ongoing Conflict, Millions Affected
The food crisis in Sudan is escalating, with famine conditions confirmed in al-Fashir and Kadugli as of November 2025. Acute malnutrition rates have surpassed famine thresholds in Um Baru and Kernoi, according to a report by non-governmental organizations. The ongoing war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has severely disrupted farming activities, leading to widespread hunger. Millions of people are surviving on just one meal a day, with some resorting to eating leaves and animal feed. The Sudanese government denies the existence of famine, while the RSF denies responsibility for the conditions in areas under its control. The United Nations has reported widespread atrocities and ethnically charged violence, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
