Displaced people in Sudan's Kordofan eat animal feed to avert starvation
Humanitarian activist Huweida Abdelrahman Saleh described how hunger has driven some families in Ed Daein, West Kordofan, to eat animal feed. A sharp rise in grain prices and the disappearance of income sources have deepened the crisis.
In Ed Daein locality in Sudan's West Kordofan state, humanitarian activist Huweida Abdelrahman Saleh described the desperate conditions facing displaced families. Hunger has driven some to eat ambaz, a type of animal feed.
According to Saleh, a malwa of millet now costs 20,000 Sudanese pounds. Sources of income have disappeared at the same time, and humanitarian aid has struggled to reach the area.
The situation reflects the wider displacement crisis fueled by Sudan's prolonged conflict. Aid groups warn conditions could worsen further if access remains restricted.
