West warns of famine risk in Sudan as civil war grinds on
Millions face acute hunger in Sudan as conflict, drought and funding cuts aggravate the humanitarian crisis.
War in Sudan has led to the worst humanitarian crisis with more than 33 million people in need of assistance according to the WHO
The US and 30 other Western states have warned of an "alarming deterioration" in food security in Sudan, urging the warring sides in the civil war to remove obstacles to humanitarian aid to prevent famine.
In a joint statement, the signatories said conflict was the main driver of Sudan's hunger crisis, damaging critical infrastructure and disrupting food production.
While the war in Sudan has led to what the World Health Organization has described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis, Roble said only 40% of Sudan's 2026 humanitarian needs plan had been funded as of September.
