Nearly 26 million people in Sudan are 'acutely hungry': UN

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric expressed concern Tuesday over the worsening food situation in Sudan. "Almost 26 million men, women and children are acutely hungry – to give you an example, that is equivalent to the entire population of Australia,” Dujarric told reporters.

"Of those 26 million, 750,000 people are just one step away from famine – which translates as IPC (Integrated Food Security) phase (classification) 5 for us.”
