JAKARTA - More than 21 million people, or 45 percent of Sudan's population, are now facing acute food insecurity, according to a report by the UN Integrated Food Security Phase Classification.
The World Food Programme (WFP) has also warned that Sudan is experiencing the world's largest famine crisis.
In January, the WFP reported that food aid stocks in Sudan would run out in the next two months due to a severe funding crisis.
The UN agency stressed that without additional funds, millions of people in Sudan are at risk of not receiving food aid in a few weeks.
Food rations have been reduced to the bare minimum to survive, the WFP said.
Sudan has been hit by a severe humanitarian crisis due to the civil war since April 2023 which has destroyed the national infrastructure and paralyzed the country's economy.
