“Time Is Running Out”: U.N. Warns Millions of People at Risk of Famine

HeadlineJun 04, 2024

In Sudan, the U.N. is again warning of the spiraling humanitarian disaster.

Jens Laerke: “Time is running out for millions of people, including 3.6 million acutely malnourished children who are at risk of famine, and they are displaced from their lands, living under bombardments and cut off from humanitarian aid.”

Fighting between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces remains particularly intense in Khartoum and the Darfur city of El Fasher. At least 15,550 people have been killed and nearly 9 million displaced since the conflict broke out in April of last year.
