Challenges
Conditions in Sudan have deteriorated as a civil war that began in April 2023 rages on, and millions of people are displaced within the country (AP, Al Jazeera, World Food Programme). For general information on how famines are declared, see: BBC, NPR. The reporting of famine conditions without a UN famine declaration will not count (e.g., CBS News).
