Geneva: UN experts on Thursday accused the two sides in Sudan's civil war of using "starvation tactics" against 25 million civilians, leaving 97 percent of the population facing " "severe levels of hunger".
"Never in modern history have so many people faced starvation and famine as in Sudan today," said the group of about a dozen independent experts.
"The world must pay attention to the largest modern famine taking shape in Sudan today," said the experts, who are appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, but do not speak on behalf of the United Nations.
War has raged since April 2023 between the Sudanese army under the country's de facto ruler Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, led by his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.
Both sides have been accused of war crimes, including targeting civilians and blocking humanitarian aid.
