Sudan faces escalating hunger crisis due to war and Hormuz disruption – WFP

Sudan remains the world's largest humanitarian crisis, with about five million people facing emergency or catastrophic levels of hunger, the World Food Programme (WFP) warns. Acting Executive Director Carl Skau says over 100,000 people still face famine-like conditions despite intensive aid. The ongoing war, funding cuts, and rising agricultural costs due to the Hormuz disruption are deepening the crisis. Recent fighting around el-Obeid in North Kordofan raises fears of a fate similar to el-Fasher in Darfur.
