Famine Declared in Sudan's Zamzam Camp

The United Nations and its partners have officially declared a famine in Sudan's Zamzam camp in North Darfur, where over 500,000 displaced people face catastrophic levels of hunger and malnutrition. This marks the first famine declaration in over seven years, driven by the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has severely restricted humanitarian access. The Famine Review Committee (FRC) warns that other regions in Sudan, including Khartoum, Kordofan, and Al Jazirah, are also at risk if immediate aid is not provided. The conflict has created the world's largest displacement crisis with over 10 million people affected and has severely disrupted agricultural production and supply lines, exacerbating food insecurity. Experts and aid organizations emphasize the urgent need for increased global aid to address this humanitarian disaster.
