A year after the war began in Sudan, the country is facing a severe humanitarian crisis with children dying of hunger and people unable to afford medicine, choosing between food and health. The conflict between army factions has led to destruction, soaring food prices, and limited access to aid. Nearly 25 million Sudanese require assistance, with over eight million displaced from their homes. A breakdown in communication and bureaucratic hurdles hinder the delivery of aid, exacerbating the food crisis. The situation is dire, compounded by a collapsed healthcare system, with warnings of famine looming as Sudanese agriculture suffers. Millions are at risk, facing acute food insecurity, and the potential for widespread famine and tragic loss of life is a looming reality.
