One year after the start of the war in Sudan, children are dying of hunger and sick people are not buying medicine so that they can afford food as the population slips towards famine.
In mid-April last year, a rivalry between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Mohamad Hamdan “Hemedti” Dagalo broke into open conflict.
While battles mostly centred in Khartoum in the beginning, they spread outwards as each of the parties consolidated power in the areas it controlled. The fighting has severely restricted the regular movement of food and aid convoys, and the hunger crisis in Sudan has deepened.
Nearly 25 million people – half Sudan’s population – need aid, the UN has estimated.

If anyone wants to help some other starving kids where food is able to arrive consider donating to some charities for Sudan.
Aside from israel blocking all the food, Gaza currently has money lined up, So Sudan is a lot more urgent.
