The country has declared a cholera epidemic, with 22 deaths recorded in the past weeks; WHO recently made known that 78 cholera deaths were recorded in Sudan between 1 January and 28 July this year

There are 3,2 million children under 5 years of age who suffer from hunger in the country, of whom about 772.000 are expected to suffer from severe acute malnutrition, said Eva Hinds, Unicef Sudan's Protection and Communications Officer

28 trucks of food and medical supplies have reached Jebel Awliya, facing starvation since area access was cut off; it’s the first since the beginning of the civil war in 2023, a result of negotiations between UN and local associations with warring parties

Famine in Sudan has expanded to five areas and will likely spread to another five by May, the global hunger monitor reported, while warring parties continue to disrupt humanitarian aid needed to alleviate one of the worst starvation crises in modern times

The World Food Programme stepped up its emergency response in Sudan, providing food assistance to more than 800.000 people in famine-affected and at-risk areas
