Khartoum, June 13 (RHC)-- The World Food Program is warning several areas near the Sudanese capital of Khartoum are at risk of famine due to years of fighting.
World Food Program’s Laurent Bukera, speaking from the Port of Sudan, said: "Several areas in the south are at risk of famine. Sudanese communities have been on the frontlines, hosting the displaced, but they are now at a breaking point. With returns expected to heavily damaged areas like Khartoum, pressure on overstretched resources will intensify. We are deeply concerned, and meeting the basic needs, especially food, will be critical and is urgent.”
