> Conflict and El Niño-induced drought are worsening famine risks in Sudan’s Darfur and Kordofan regions, the IPC food crisis monitor warns. The drought affects roughly half the country, while food availability, healthcare and clean water are declining. The agency says food insecurity, acute malnutrition and excess deaths are likely to intensify.
