TL;DR Summary

Millions of Sudanese are facing hunger as war disrupts food supply in the country, with almost five million people at emergency levels of hunger. The conflict, which erupted last April, has led to a communications blackout, making it difficult for aid agencies to deliver food to many areas. Residents are risking their lives to search for food, facing artillery and sniper fire, and drinking untreated water from the Nile, leading to health issues. The war has killed over 14,000 people and driven more than eight million from their homes, making Sudan the world’s largest displacement crisis. Aid agencies warn that without urgent intervention, the situation could lead to a catastrophic famine.
