News summary

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has issued an urgent call for humanitarian aid and an immediate halt to hostilities in Sudan's Darfur, where famine conditions have been confirmed, particularly in the Zamzam Internally Displaced Persons camp. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) reports that over 755,000 people are in catastrophic hunger, amidst a backdrop of conflict that has displaced more than 10 million individuals. Doctors Without Borders highlighted that aid is being obstructed by the Rapid Support Forces, exacerbating the plight of malnourished children in the region. UN officials stress that the famine is a man-made crisis, and immediate aid access is crucial to prevent further suffering. The humanitarian response has been severely underfunded, with less than a third of the $2.7 billion needed for 2024 being met. Calls for international action and peace have intensified as the crisis deepens, with urgent funding and aid access deemed essential to avert catastrophe.
