Breaking News: Famine Spreads in Sudan, Global Authority Warns of Catastrophic Food Shortages Famine has spread to two regions of war-torn Sudan, including the city of el-Fasher in Darfur, a global hunger monitoring group announced Monday. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, the leading international authority on hunger crises, confirmed that el-Fasher and Kadugli town in South Kordofan province are now experiencing famine. The immediate impact is dire, with thousands of people at risk of starvation. The IPC warns that 20 other areas in Darfur and Kordofan are also at risk of famine, where fighting has intensified in recent months. The situation is further complicated by the 18-month siege of el-Fasher by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which has cut off access to food and other essential supplies. The humanitarian disaster in Sudan is one of the largest in the world, with millions of people displaced and in need of aid. The conflict has been ongoing for years, with various factions vying for control of the country. The IPC will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available. The international community is urged to take immediate action to address the crisis and prevent further suffering. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
