The United Nations refugee agency says flood conditions in Sudan are hindering the delivery of aid to areas where many are already facing starvation and famine, including to a camp for those who have fled the ongoing fighting in North Darfur.

A July report on hunger conditions released by the The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, found it likely that parts of North Darfur — especially the Zamzam camp — are experiencing “the worst form of hunger” known as IPC Phase 5. The IPC said the famine conditions in Zamzam camp were fueled by the conflict and “severely restricted humanitarian access.”
“The humanitarian needs are reaching epic proportions in the region, as hundreds of thousands of civilians remain in harm’s way and famine has recently been confirmed in a displacement site,” UNHCR said in a brief on the flooding situation. Sudanese local media reported on Wednesday that 17 people died in the northern city of Abu Hamad due to the floods, though authorities have yet to release an official death toll for casualties throughout the country.
