Extreme suffering is growing in Sudan, with the official confirmation of famine in Zamzam camp in North Darfur.
Families living in Zamzam sought refuge there, having survived the most harrowing violence. Their villages were destroyed. Their hospitals were attacked. They had no choice but to flee, hoping to find safety and protection.
Instead, they’re facing extreme hunger and disease while conflict continues to escalate, cutting them off from life-saving humanitarian aid.
The suffering isn’t contained to North Darfur. The situation across the country is dire. Almost 26 million people are experiencing acute hunger. That’s the equivalent of the entire population of Australia.
Conflict is one of the main drivers of this tragedy. It’s been 15 months since war broke out in Sudan and, in that time, at least 10 million people have been forced to flee. There are devastating reports of violence, including violations against women and children. The needs are immense, yet the humanitarian response is desperately underfunded.
