Sudan war may spark world's largest hunger crisis, says WFP | BBC News
The war in Sudan could trigger the world’s largest hunger crisis, unless fighting stops, the World Food Programme (WFP) has warned.
More than 10 months of fighting has left nearly 14,000 people dead, over eight million displaced and much of the country’s population cut off and facing rising hunger.
During a visit to a camp in neighbouring South Sudan, the head of the WFP said the victims of the war had been forgotten, and that aid agencies had to be given access to those who were stranded in areas cut off by violence.
