Engineered Famine: Famine is no longer just the result of natural disasters. It is increasingly being used as a deliberate tool of conflict. From Gaza to Sudan, armed groups and governments are weaponising hunger to control civilian populations. The world’s biggest humanitarian crisis is in Sudan, described as the largest on record and the largest and fastest displacement crisis in the world.

KHARTOUM AUGUST 26: Famine is no longer just the result of natural disasters. It is increasingly being used as a deliberate tool of conflict. From Gaza to Sudan, armed groups and governments are weaponising hunger to control, weaken, and terrify civilian populations. While global hunger may be declining overall, famine deaths in war zones are rising sharply. This report explores how modern warfare has turned food into a powerful weapon, and questions whether the world will act to stop this man-made crisis.
The world’s biggest humanitarian crisis is in Sudan, described as the largest on record and the largest and fastest displacement crisis in the world. The ongoing civil war has caused over 12 million people to be displaced, with millions facing famine and lacking access to basic services, leading to widespread suffering and a significant humanitarian emergency. Attacks on aid workers and healthcare facilities have left many civilians without access to life-saving services.
The conflict is marked by widespread reports of sexual violence, child soldier recruitment, and ethnic cleansing. Women and children are disproportionately affected by the violence, with reports of rape, forced marriage, and abductions.
For the second year in a row, Sudan tops the Emergency Watchlist as the country’s brutal civil war continues. Sudan now accounts for the largest humanitarian crisis on record and the world’s largest and fastest displacement crisis.
