More than 40% of Sudan’s population faces high levels of acute food insecurity, according to a global hunger monitoring group’s latest assessment covering the period through May. The monitoring group warns that conditions are likely to remain severe as households struggle to access enough food and face heightened pressure from worsening economic and operational factors. Several reports link the outlook to disruptions affecting farming and livelihoods, including higher costs for planting and difficulties caused by ongoing conflict. The assessment indicates that the risk of hunger is widespread rather than limited to specific pockets, with a large share of the population expected to experience acute shortages. While the accounts differ slightly in emphasis, they agree on the core finding: acute food insecurity affects over two-fifths of Sudan’s people during the near-term outlook window. The monitoring group’s warning highlights the need for continued attention to food access and assistance during the coming months.
