US warns of imminent famine in Sudan, poised to be the deadliest in decades as global attention wavers

In Sudan's Darfur region, a famine in camps for displaced people worsened as warring factions obstructed aid efforts. US officials warned the crisis could become more severe than recent major famines. Aid organisations are calling for a cease-fire and increased aid access across Sudan. The conflict started in April 2023, escalating the humanitarian crisis.
