32 Countries Warn of Famine Risk in Sudan as Government Offers Reassurance

A group of 32 countries, including the United States, has warned of worsening food security and the risk of famine in Sudan, while the Sudanese government has offered a reassuring assessment of the country’s food situation.

The countries called on both sides in the war to remove obstacles to humanitarian assistance, placing access to aid at the centre of their appeal.

Their warning highlighted concern over deteriorating food security and the need to ensure that humanitarian supplies can reach those who need them.

The Sudanese government, meanwhile, maintained that the food situation in the country was reassuring, contrasting with the alarm expressed by the 32 countries.

The opposing assessments underscore a divide over the severity of Sudan’s food crisis, as the international appeal urged the warring parties to clear the way for relief.
