Hunger drives starving Sudanese to seek refuge abroad

Displaced children share a meal provided through a charity initiative at a camp in Gedaref, Sudan, on July 13, 2024. The World Health Organization said on July 16 that hunger is prompting people to flee Sudan. Residents run after hearing an explosion near the local government headquarters in Gedaref, Sudan, on July 11, 2024.

Hunger and looming famine are driving a growing number of people to flee war-torn Sudan in search of refuge in neighboring countries, according to World Health Organization officials.
