Sudan’s largest refugee camp in North Darfur is facing a surge in new arrivals as floods and famine overwhelm its limited services, according to findings published by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab on Friday.
Famine in Zamzam camp
An assessment from the global food monitoring organization indicates that the Zamzam camp, home to about 500,000 people, is experiencing famine. This is only the third such assessment since the Integrated Food Security Classification (IPC) was established two decades ago.
The IPC reports that Zamzam is one of 14 locations in Sudan where famine is likely.
