Sudan Denies Famine in North Darfur’s Zamzam Camp Despite Aid Group’s Concerns

Sudan denied the existence of famine in North Darfur’s Zamzam camp for internally displaced people on Sunday according to Reuters reports. However, an aid group warned of a severe shortage of special food needed to treat malnourished children in the camp. On Thursday, a global food monitor reported that famine, confirmed by meeting criteria for acute malnutrition and mortality, was present in the camp and likely to persist until at least October.
