Insights on Food Security in Sudan (February 2024)

The food situation in Sudan is dire, with urban and rural areas both facing significant challenges. Urban areas are grappling with looting, infrastructure damage, and disrupted services, while rural regions are experiencing hunger due to planting difficulties, trade disruptions, and an influx of displaced persons. This has led to acute food insecurity across the country, particularly in conflict-affected areas. Access to aid remains inconsistent, exacerbating the crisis. As the conflict expands to key agricultural areas, food production and trade are further hindered, worsening the situation. With millions facing food insecurity, urgent action is needed to address this growing humanitarian crisis.
