The IPC’s Famine Review Committee confirms Famine in North Darfur
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification @theIPCinfo
Escalating violence has limited humanitarian access & pushed households into Famine.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros
Director-General of the World Health Organization
The @theIPCinfo has concluded that the escalating violence in Sudan, persisting for over 15 months now, has pushed parts of North Darfur, notably the Zamzam camp near El Fasher town, into famine conditions,
Famine in Sudan can be halted, but this requires immediate and concerted efforts from all stakeholders involved.
Humanitarians need safe access to the people, the people need access to food and health care.
Above all, all people in Sudan need peace.

Today @HRL_YaleSPH @YaleSPH helped contribute via remote sensing analysis to an IPC 5 Famine Declaration by
@theIPCinfo for El Fasher and Zamzam camp in Sudan. As a humanitarian, an IPC 5 finding is one of our nightmare scenarios. We are honored to assist in this essential work.
