LEICESTER, United Kingdom – After more than 15 months of war in Sudan, a famine has been officially declared in a large displacement camp in the North Darfur region.
Kayode Akintola, Head of Region for Africa for CAFOD – the international aid agency of the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales – said if nothing changes, “countless other communities across Sudan will starve to death amidst the world’s indifference.”
Fighting broke out between two rival armed factions in the capital in April 2023.
