There is a realistic chance of famine in 14 areas across Sudan if the conflict that began in April last year between military factions escalates further, a global hunger monitor said on Thursday.
The areas include parts of the capital Khartoum, the regions of Darfur and Kordofan and El Gezira State, according to an update from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC).
