Famine is spreading in war-torn Sudan's western Darfur region and has now engulfed two more towns there, a global hunger monitoring group said Thursday. The announcement came after the group said last year that people in Darfur’s major city of el-Fasher, overrun by the paramilitary forces after an 18-month siege, were enduring famine.
Since April 2023, war has gripped much of Sudan after a power struggle erupted between the East African country’s military and the powerful paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. The conflict has triggered what the United Nations calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
