On December 13 local time, the Norwegian Refugee Council warned that more than two-thirds of displaced households in eastern Sudan are unable to access enough food, pushing millions towards the brink of famine. Data from the Council's survey conducted among over 8,600 households in six states in eastern Sudan shows that about 70% of displaced households and 56% of host households cannot afford sufficient food due to soaring prices and loss of income sources, while 92% of host households and 76% of displaced households have not received any food assistance in the past six months. On April 15, 2023, armed conflict erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in the capital, Khartoum, spreading to other areas thereafter. More than a year of ongoing armed conflict has resulted in about 0.0287 million deaths and over 12.06 million displaced persons in Sudan. According to United Nations data, more than 1 million displaced persons are sheltered in just the Gadaref state of eastern Sudan. UN experts warned in October this year that the armed conflict in Sudan has left 97% of the population facing 'severe hunger.' (CCTV News)
