Monitors warn 19.5 million in Sudan face acute hunger

Monitoring groups said on May 14, 2026, that 19.5 million people in Sudan are facing acute food insecurity, with 135,000 in the most severe phase.

The warning matters because millions remain at risk of famine in several conflict-hit states, and conditions are expected to worsen.

  • Sudan has one of Africa’s largest internally displaced populations.
  • Darfur has been a center of conflict for more than two decades.
  • Food crises often spread fastest when war disrupts farming, transport, and markets.
