New guidance for armed actors to prevent and mitigate conflict-induced hunger

April 15, 2024, marked the one-year anniversary of the conflict in Sudan, where one of the world’s largest hunger crises is evolving—18 million people are food insecure, including five million of whom are facing starvation and 730,000 children who are severely malnourished.
Parties to the conflict have caused forced displacement and communications blackouts, looted civilian property, and restricted the movement of humanitarian aid, all directly contributing to the alarming hunger and humanitarian crisis across the country.
