Catastrophic Famine and Violence Intensify in Sudan's Darfur Region

Catastrophic famine conditions have taken hold in Sudan's Jebel Marra area and displaced persons camps in Darfur, with local authorities reporting up to 20 deaths daily from hunger and disease. This crisis is exacerbated by ongoing summary killings, sexual violence, and a blockade on relief supplies, threatening over 10 million civilians and displaced people as the war enters its fourth year.
