Sudan after the 15th of April 2023
Sudan faces a dire food security crisis due to the recent war. Over 20 million people, or 42% of the population, experience acute food insecurity, with 6 million teetering on the brink of famine . Food affordability is also plummeting, with the Local Food Basket's price expected to jump 25% in the coming months, pushing over 18 million beyond its reach.
