The Sudanese government has strongly dismissed a UN report citing severe famine in five regions amid ongoing military conflicts. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), 638,000 people face catastrophic hunger levels, while 8.1 million others are on the brink of starvation. Government officials claim the famine reports are unfounded, suggesting aid agencies exploit food as a pretext for their own agendas. The conflict, which began on April 15, 2023, has created a humanitarian crisis affecting millions in the country.
