🆘 Our deepest fears in #Sudan have materialized: The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Famine Review Committee has confirmed famine in Zamzam camp, North Darfur, with 13 other regions at imminent risk. A region enters IPC Phase 5 (Famine) when: 🔺Over 20% of households face extreme food shortages. 🔺Over 30% of children suffer from acute malnutrition. 🔺The daily mortality rate exceeds 2 per 10,000 people, or 4 per 10,000 children under five. This classification means people are dying of hunger. To prevent famine from spreading, WFP urgently calls for unrestricted access to deliver humanitarian food assistance. We need guarantees of safe passage for aid workers to reach communities in dire need. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ewcF-nKw

Food is nourishment. Food is hope. Food is life. Food is not a weapon. Six years since #UNSC Resolution 2417 was adopted, conflict continues to be the primary driver of extreme hunger.
