Over 30 Nations and US State Department Issue Urgent Warning on Sudan Famine Risk

The U.S. State Department, alongside the European Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management and over thirty nations, has released a joint statement expressing grave concern over the "alarming deterioration" in Sudan's food security. They warn of an urgent risk of famine in the coming months, emphasizing that "there is no time to lose to save lives and prevent famine." Conflict is identified as the primary driver of the hunger crisis, displacing millions, damaging infrastructure, and disrupting food production and supply chains, with calls for parties to the conflict to lift all impediments to humanitarian assistance.
