The World Food Programme warned that food insecurity in war-torn Sudan has impacted over 20 million people in the country.

Famine is happening in el-Fasher and the town of Kadugli, in the southern South Kordofan province, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification said in a new report.

WFP said it has reached over four million people monthly in Sudan, but needs remain dire.

In turn, funding cuts have also rattled the organization's supply chain, and humanitarian workers face serious risks in conflict areas.

Sudan plunged into chaos in April 2023 when a power struggle between the military and the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces exploded into open fighting in the capital, Khartoum, and elsewhere in the country.

The war has killed more than 40,000 people, according to U.N. figures, but aid groups say that is an undercount and the true number could be many times higher.

It created the world’s largest humanitarian crisis with over 14 million people forced to flee their homes, fueled disease outbreaks and pushed parts of the country into famine.
