Sudan’s Kordofan region is sliding deeper into humanitarian crisis as civilians face rising hunger, worsening sieges and relentless insecurity.
Humanitarian agencies report that people in several cities remain cut off from basic services, with families trapped under severe movement restrictions and unable to access food, medicine or protection.
The UN said famine conditions have already been identified in Kadugli, while neighbouring areas such as Babanusa in West Kordofan continue to endure sustained violence that is disrupting supply routes.
Communities in Dilling and Kadugli are experiencing extreme hardship, with shortages tightening and no safe passage available for those trying to flee.
Aid workers warn that expanding insecurity is limiting access to farmland and markets, heightening the risk of famine spreading across all Kordofan states.
They emphasise that medical staff, humanitarian teams and local responders are operating under extraordinary danger as they attempt to reach 1.1 million people in need.
Relief organisations continue to call for safe and unimpeded access to deliver life-saving support to civilians wherever possible.
Save the Children said the influx is placing immense strain on already fragile host communities struggling to meet rising needs.
Sudan’s conflict, now in its second year, has created one of the world’s largest displacement crises, with at least 40,000 people killed and about 12 million uprooted, according to the World Health Organization.
