Monitor says war, drought and funding gaps raise Sudan famine risk
A food security monitor says conflict, drought and funding shortages are increasing the risk of famine in Sudan, especially in Darfur and Kordofan.
The risk of famine in Sudan is rising because of conflict, drought and funding shortages, according to a report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, as relayed by PBS NewsHour.
The report describes a "deteriorating humanitarian situation" across greater Darfur and Kordofan. That includes areas already identified as at risk of famine, and other locations, PBS reports.
Al Jazeera reports that El Nino-induced drought is affecting roughly half of the country. It says the war in Sudan is in its third year.
