Summary

Famines are looming as thousands of people in Sudan's Zamzam camp face uncertain survival. Over 400,000 have been forced to flee their homes due to attacks by the Rapid Support Forces, a government-backed paramilitary group. With the rainy season expected to worsen food shortages and funding cuts becoming increasingly likely, the World Food Programme is bracing for an even more dire situation ahead, as it struggles to care for both displaced populations and those remaining inside the camp.
