Sudan’s crisis during the dry season from June to September 2023 left more than 20 million people in “crisis” conditions or worse, causing extraordinarily high levels of severe food insecurity, according to UN report.
Sudan, which has become the world’s largest internal displacement crisis, is home to 6.3 million people who experienced “emergency” levels of food insecurity.
In Haiti, where conflict, violence, and internal displacement have worsened the food crisis, approximately 5 million people, or half the population, faced severe food insecurity at “crisis” levels or higher.
This included 1.8 million people who experienced “emergency” levels during the famine from March to June 2023.
In South Sudan, an estimated 7.8 million people, or 63 percent of the population, faced high-level severe food insecurity at the third stage during the famine from April to July 2023.
This included 2.9 million at the fourth stage “emergency” and 43,000 at the fifth stage “catastrophe.”
Approximately 13 million people in Syria and 18 million in Yemen also struggled with high levels of severe food insecurity.
