The unanimous adoption of UN Security Council resolution 2417 in 2018 was a milestone that established a global consensus on the need to address the links between conflict and hunger. Today, however, Sudan’s conflict has fuelled a hunger crisis of historic proportions. It has already become the primary cause of suffering for people across the country, and without urgent action it will soon claim more lives than the fighting.
Based on testimonies from people in regions including Darfur, Kordofan and Khartoum, combined with analysis of the crisis in Sudan, this report reveals the direct and indirect ways in which the conflict and widespread violations of international humanitarian law have led to suffering and starvation countrywide.
