Genius1111 Posted April 16 Posted April 16 Sudan on brink of collapse and starvation as country marks one year of civil war | CNN As Sudan marks the grim anniversary of a year-long conflict, aid agencies have warned that the country teeters on the edge of collapse, facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that has been largely ignored by the rest of the world. Islamic Relief, a humanitarian and development agency, painted a stark picture of Sudan's situation, warning that it is on the brink of mass famine, with young children facing the prospect of starving to death. The situation in Sudan is dire, with over 8.4 million people, including 2 million children under the age of 5, forced to flee their homes in the wake of the conflict, according to Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Despite these alarming figures, the international response has been woefully inadequate, with only 5% of the 2024 humanitarian response plan for Sudan funded thus far, Islamic Relief said in a statement.
