about the worsening humanitarian situation in

As

endures over a year of relentless conflict, the specter of hunger looms larger than ever.
With the lean season approaching,
@WFP
is deeply concerned about unprecedented levels of starvation and malnutrition.
๐จ Urgent action is needed to prevent a catastrophe.
The window to prevent famine in

Escalating fighting in North Darfurโs
#ElFasher

๐The window to save lives is closing as

#SUDAN
: the escalating violence is deepening the humanitarian crisis.
Families like Magdah's are forced to flee their homes, struggling to survive and children like her daughter Sittana become particularly vulnerable to illness and malnutrition ๐
#Sudan
is experiencing a crisis of epic proportions after over a year of conflict.
Almost 18M people are food insecure, with nearly 5M people on the brink of famine.
The humanitarian community needs the funds and the access to operate in the country.
