Sudan’s Hunger Crisis at Year Three: What 29 Million People Facing Famine Actually Means for Human Survival

Nearly 29 million people in Sudan are facing acute food shortages as the country’s civil war enters its third year, with millions of families reduced to eating a single meal per day and many going entire days without food, according to a joint report by five major international NGOs published on April 13.

The report, authored by Action Against Hunger, CARE International, the International Rescue Committee, Mercy Corps, and the Norwegian Refugee Council, describes a food system that has been methodically dismantled by conflict.
