Sudan Conflict Sparks Fear of Food Shortages and Violence Escalation.
Ongoing fighting in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, is causing food shortages, as well as disrupting access to water and electricity. Water and electricity cuts have affected many Sudanese homes since clashes began between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group and the Sudanese army on 15 April. The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) announced the suspension of aid provision to Sudan on 16 April following the death of three of its staff in the region of Darfur.
