Famine Declared in Sudanese Refugee Camp in North Darfur Region
ai generated text
The United Nations' hunger monitoring system has confirmed that a famine is ongoing in the Zamzam camp in Sudan, where approximately 600,000 people are living in camps outside the capital city of Darfur. The famine is a result of the ongoing war in Sudan and restrictions on aid deliveries. The IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase) has determined that the area is in Phase 5, indicating that at least one in five people or households lack food.
The organisation calls for all parties to respect healthcare facilities and the civilian population and to allow the urgent delivery of food and medicines to the area.
Because these supplies have not yet arrived, we only have enough therapeutic food left to last another few weeks. Already, many children there are at death's door. These supplies are needed to save their lives.
