MSF Halts Care for Malnourished Children in Sudan

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has suspended its operations in the Zamzam camp for displaced people in Sudan's North Darfur region due to ongoing supply blockades imposed by both the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese army, leaving 5,000 malnourished children without support. The humanitarian crisis in Sudan has escalated over the past 18 months, displacing over 10 million people and significantly impeding aid deliveries. MSF reports that famine has been confirmed in the camp, where nearly 30% of children are malnourished, and a child dies every two hours due to malnutrition-related causes. Although some limited supplies have begun to arrive recently, they are insufficient to meet the urgent needs of the population, which requires approximately 100 trucks of food aid each month. MSF has called for immediate action from the international community to facilitate aid delivery and prevent further loss of life. The situation remains critical, with urgent calls for a massive scale-up of humanitarian efforts.
