FILE - A Sudanese child suffering from malnutrition is treated at a Doctors Without Borders clinic in Metche Camp, Chad, near the Sudanese border, on April 6, 2024. The United Nations reported on Aug. 1, 2024, that several parts of Sudan are in or approaching famine conditions.

A United Nations-backed food security report concluded Thursday that more than a year of war in Sudan has pushed parts of North Darfur into famine, including a displaced persons camp that houses more than a half-million people.
