Dire Food Insecurity in Sudan
The UN's World Food Programme in East Africa expressed extreme concern as the region faces a catastrophic situation with a massive scale of hunger and related diseases. A report from the Klingendale Institute outlined two scenarios, one estimating 500,000 deaths, and an extreme scenario projecting a million deaths due to almost no harvest in Sudan over the past year.
