The World Food Program has announced a pause in aid distribution in the Zamzam displacement camp in Sudan, home to half a million people, due to escalating fighting between the military and the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group. This conflict has forced aid partners to evacuate the camp, leaving thousands of families at risk of starvation.
The agency's regional director, Laurent Bukera, issued a warning stating that without immediate assistance, the situation in Zamzam could deteriorate rapidly, leading to a potential humanitarian crisis. The World Food Program had been providing food to approximately 300,000 camp residents, but recent violence has severely disrupted these efforts.
