Sudan food crisis data
Aid groups say millions of Sudanese are surviving on a single meal a day, and reporting cited that about 61.7% of the population — roughly 28.9 million people — is now acutely food insecure. UN-linked reports put displacement at about 14 million people while attacks on health services and the spread of fighting in Darfur and Kordofan are deepening the emergency. There was a small diplomatic sign that civilian participation in Berlin talks is an 'important shift' and the RSF has verbally accepted a humanitarian truce proposal, but no formal commitments have stopped the fighting.
