Sudan's humanitarian crisis deepens as famine grips millions, with UN aid blocked by warring factions. Desperate civilians resort to eating leaves while graveyards expand rapidly. Despite dire warnings, political obstacles and fears of retaliation hinder life-saving food delivery, leaving vast swathes of the country a "humanitarian desert" as hundreds die daily from starvation and related diseases.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

As famine ravages Sudan, the UN can’t get food to starving millions

…But life-saving international aid – cooking oil, salt, grain, lentils and more – is unable to reach millions of people who desperately need it. Among them is Raous Fleg, a 39-year-old mother of nine. She lives in a sprawling displaced persons camp in Boram county, in the state of South Kordofan, sheltering from fighting sparked by the civil war between the Sudanese army and a paramilitary called the Rapid Support Forces.

Do you need a better understanding of what's happening in Sudan? I talked with Sudanese organizers Nisrin Elamin and Yusra Khogali about what's happening, who's responsible, and how you can help.

For more than a year there's been a brutal civil war in Sudan, yet still no approved means for Sudanese individuals to seek asylum, despite making up one of the largest groups crossing channel. Tougher border controls don't stop people needing safety. #r4today www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"The escalation comes despite US-led efforts to broker a ceasefire. Sudan β€” one of Africa’s poorest countries even before the conflict β€” is mired in a civil war that has sparked the world’s worst humanitarian crisis." www.bbc.com/news/article...
