Experts warn that Sudan is slipping deeper into famine due to the 20-month civil war between the military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). More than 24 million people are in urgent need of food aid, with famine conditions reported in several regions, including Darfur and South Kordofan. The United Nations’ Famine Review Committee indicates that the humanitarian situation could further deteriorate if the conflict persists. Accusations against the UN-backed committee for undermining Sudan’s sovereignty have led to the suspension of cooperation by Sudan’s military-backed government.
