In Sudan, 23 million people do not have access to a sufficient number of food, and 750 thousand people are on the verge of hunger.
This was stated by the UN press secretary Stefan Duzharrick on Tuesday, July 23, during a daily briefing in New York.
He noted that the people of Sudan were faced with the “worst script.”
Duzharrik said that only 30 percent of $ 2.7 billion is funded annually by the Humanitarian Plan of Sudan.
According to him, in Sudan, 23 million people do not have access to a sufficient number of food, which corresponds to the population of Australia.
Duzharrik said that another 750 thousand people in this country are on the verge of hunger and the situation will deteriorate with the arrival of the rain season.
Sudan is experiencing the world’s largest crisis of the movement of the population and hunger
Sudan continues to experience the world’s largest crisis of the movement of the population and hunger due to the lasting 15 months of the conflict between the army and the militarized rapid response forces (SBR).
The number of dead directly as a result of clashes in Sudan today is estimated at 16 thousand people. However, it is assumed that this figure can be much higher due to the collapse of the healthcare system.
According to the International Migration Organization (IMO) of the UN, since April 2023, that is, from the beginning of hostilities in Sudan, 7,200 119 people were moved inside the country.
The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) said that Sudan is a country with the largest number of displaced children in the world – 5 million
General Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhan Goebreesus emphasized that every fifth resident of Sudan, where the civil war continues, is in a lack of food at an emergency.
