“Urgent action, in particular immediate and unimpeded humanitarian access, is required to address the widening famine in Sudan, where almost 25 million people face acute food insecurity,” -- Beth Bechdol, FAO Deputy Director-General.   According to the latest analysis from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), half of the population – or 24.6 million people – are facing acute food insecurity levels. This is 3.5 million more people since June 2024.   Production of key crops such as sorghum, millet and wheat during the first year of the conflict – the 2023/24 season – was down 46 percent from the previous year.    Restricted humanitarian access is exacerbating the situation, while sustained violence and economic turmoil have disrupted markets, driving the price of staple goods to unaffordable levels.   https://lnkd.in/dXQ7wHCe
