“Sudan is still the world's largest hunger and displacement crisis,” Carl Skau, Acting Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), said.....20 million people in acute hunger, 14 million people displaced, some 5 million of those acutely hunger in emergency level (IPC4), and you know still 200,000 in IPC5 levels of starvation.”

He concluded, “What we see playing out in Sudan is really, you know, what we also see at the global level, and it's all hitting at once. So, it's the conflict that is, you know, driving displacement, disrupting markets and trade; it is the maritime disruptions in Bab El Mandeb and Hormuz that is really hitting Sudan as well, with its ports on the Red Sea; and thirdly, it's El Niño and the climate shocks with the drought we now see in the Darfur, and all this is coming together, really putting pressure on the already suffering people in in Sudan.”
