ResumoSignificance This represents a major deterioration of the IPC’s already alarming July 2024 assessment that famine likely afflicted one or more IDP camps around Darfur’s El Fasher, and was a risk in two dozen other locations. Impacts Beyond its direct impacts, malnutrition creates vulnerability to disease and infection, with which the crippled health system cannot cope. Even where farmers can grow crops, economic difficulties may limit their production capacity. Looting of aid supplies by armed actors will further degrade humanitarians’ capacity to respond.
