WFP pauses food aid in famine-hit Sudan refugee camp

The UN World Food Program has halted operations in Sudan’s Zamzam displacement camp due to escalating violence between the army and paramilitary forces. The fighting has left thousands at risk of starvation, with the camp’s central market destroyed and residents unable to access essential supplies. Famine has already been declared in Zamzam and is expected to spread to other areas by May. Before the violence, 1.7 million people were displaced in North Darfur, with 2 million facing extreme food insecurity. The WFP is urging for the fighting to cease to resume life-saving aid delivery.
