Why are Sudan’s warring sides blocking humanitarian aid? | Inside Story
Famine has been declared in Zamzam, a camp sheltering hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the North Darfur region.
The crisis is the culmination of 15 months of war that has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced more than 11 million people. Aid agencies warn nearly 26 million Sudanese now face acute hunger. That’s a sharp increase since the conflict began last year.
Questions are being raised about how this situation was allowed to deteriorate.
So could more have been done to prevent this famine?
And what hope is there for the millions still at risk? Presenter: Laura Kyle Guests Kholood Khair, Sudanese political analyst and broadcaster. Amgad Fareid Eltayeb, Executive Director of non-partisan thinktank – Fikra for Studies and Development. William Carter, Sudan Country Head for the Norwegian Refugee Council.
