According to the latest UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) initiative, over half the population in Sudan \u2013 25.6 million people \u2013 face \u201ccrisis or worse\u201d conditions between now September 2024, coinciding with the lean season. Learn more about famine and the IPC&#8217;s five levels of food security in our explainer here.<\/p>\n<p>Even worse, 755,000 people face phase five \u201ccatastrophic\u201d conditions in 10 states, including in Greater Darfur as well as South and North Kordofan, Blue Nile, Al Jazira and Khartoum. At the same time, 8.5 million people \u2013 18 per cent of the population \u2013 now suffer from phase four \u201cemergency\u201d levels of food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>In the more than 14 months since rival militaries \u2013 the Sudan Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces \u2013 unleashed their heavy weapons arsenals on one another amid rising tensions over a transition to civilian rule, the UN has repeatedly called for a ceasefire as the country\u2019s capital, Khartoum, became a battleground and amid fears of atrocities in the Darfurs. Despite multiple calls for a ceasefire to Generals Abdel-Fattah Burhan, head of the Sudanese military, and Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, who heads the Rapid Support Forces, senior UN humanitarians have warned that the situation is only getting worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have received news of people eating leaves from trees; one mother cooked up dirt just to put something in her children\u2019s stomach,\u201d said Justin Brady, head of the UN emergency relief agency (OCHA) in Sudan, in an interview with UN News. The risk of famine threatens residents, people uprooted by the war and refugees in no less than 14 areas covering Greater Darfur, Greater Kordofan, Al Jazira states and hotspots in Khartoum \u201cif the conflict escalates further, including through increased mobilisation of local militias that further disrupt mobility, humanitarian assistance, market and livelihood activities\u201d, the IPC assessment warned.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the IPC findings, three UN agency heads warned that the looming hunger catastrophe was \u201con a scale not seen since the Darfur crisis in the early 2000s\u201d, a reference to years of brutal fighting and increasing atrocities there that left some 300,000 people dead and millions of others displaced. Unlike the Darfur crisis then, today\u2019s emergency spans the whole country, with catastrophic levels of hunger even reaching Khartoum and Gezira state, once Sudan\u2019s breadbasket.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2024\/06\/1151546\">The UN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/famine-risk-is-real-for-14-areas-of-sudan-amid-ongoing-fighting\/\">Famine risk is real for 14 areas of Sudan amid ongoing fighting<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[3384,519,3219,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-132004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-famine","tag-risk","tag-sudan","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132004\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
