On June 27, 2024, a truck carrying people fleeing Sudan arrived in neighboring South Sudan, while many others remain trapped in the turmoil of the Sudanese civil war. A joint food security assessment report by the UN and various relief organizations reveals that Sudan is facing severe food insecurity, leaving some Sudanese with only leaves and soil to eat.

Currently, about 8.5 million individuals, nearly 20% of the population, are experiencing food shortages, with 750,000 facing famine.
