The UN food agency on Monday warned that hundreds of thousands could die of hunger in Sudan as the country has been going through a hunger crisis.

"The brutal war in Sudan has triggered the world's largest hunger crisis," the World Food Program (WFP) said on X.

"1 in 2 people struggle to eat every day. Famine has been confirmed in North Darfur," it added.

WFP described the humanitarian needs as "immense," adding: "Without humanitarian assistance, hundreds of thousands could die of hunger."
