The conflict between military and paramilitary forces in Sudan is causing one of the world’s worst hunger crisis
This handout photo provided by World Relief shows emergency food being distributed by World Food Program me and World Relief in Kulbus, West Darfur , Sudan , in late March.The United Nations said Friday it has begun distributing food in Sudan ’s restive western Darfur region for the first time in months, following two successful cross-border deliveries in March, but the population still faces widespread hunger unless more help arrives.
The U.N. warned in March that some 222,000 children could die from malnutrition in the coming months unless aid needs are urgently met. The U.N. appeal for $2.7 billion for Sudan was less than 5% funded as of last month. The fighting in Darfur, with brutal attacks from the Arab-dominated Rapid Support Forces on ethnic African civilians, is reviving fears of another genocide, back in the early 2000s, when as many as 300,000 people were killed and 2.7 million were driven from their homes, many by government-backed Arab militias.
