The World Food Programme has warned the ongoing conflict in Sudan could trigger “the world’s largest hunger crisis” unless fighting between the Sudanese military and Rapid Support Forces comes to an end. Agency officials said Wednesday more than 25 million people scattered across Sudan, South Sudan and Chad are facing severe food insecurity. Meanwhile, worsening violence has blocked humanitarian aid workers from accessing most Sudanese communities experiencing “emergency levels of hunger.” Aid deliveries from Chad into the western Sudan border have been halted after Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said there were concerns RSF fighters had carried out arms transfers in that border.
