The United Nations food agency said on Wednesday that its ongoing efforts to fight severe hunger in Sudan are beginning to show some encouraging results.
Despite promising signs, the World Food Program said Sudan remains one of the world’s largest hunger crises, with famine confirmed in two parts of the country.
The other problem is one of resources. It has to feed one million people and they receive rations at reduced prices. Sudan’s war began in April 2023 over a power struggle between the military and the Rapid Response Forces (RSF).
The conflict has killed more than 40,000 people, a figure rights groups consider a significant undercount, and has created a major humanitarian crisis, with more than 14 million people displaced. However, since the beginning of 2025, the number of people receiving assistance in areas previously confirmed in famine, or at risk of famine, has tripled, the WFP said.
