On June 10, local time, Laurent Bukra, the representative of the World Food Programme in Sudan, said that parts of Khartoum, the capital of the Sudan, faced a serious risk of famine. Bukra said that the armed conflict in Sudan has caused serious damage to Khartoum, water and electricity supplies have been cut off on a large scale, and the cholera epidemic is spreading. Food shortages are particularly urgent. In particular, the southern region of Khartoum faces a serious risk of famine, and many children, pregnant women, and nursing women are unable to get enough nutrition to sustain their lives. Bukra also said that the World Food Programme's humanitarian relief operations in the Sudan are facing a serious shortage of funding, with a funding gap of more than 500 million US dollars over the next six months. He called on the international community to step up aid to the Sudan to stop the spread of famine.
