Sudan's government denies famine exists in Zamzam camp in Darfur

By |

Sudan's Federal Humanitarian Aid Commission said talk about famine in the camp was inaccurate and conditions were "not consistent" with those that must be met to declare a famine.

Sudan on Sunday denied the existence of famine in North Darfur's Zamzam camp for internally displaced people.

In a statement, Sudan's Federal Humanitarian Aid Commission said talk about famine in the camp was inaccurate and conditions were "not consistent" with those that must be met to declare a famine.

On Thursday, a global food monitor found that famine, confirmed when acute malnutrition and mortality criteria are met, was present in the Zamzam camp and likely to persist there at least until October.
