The report documents how three years of war and violations of International Humanitarian Law have turned the journey of food--from farms to markets to homes-- into a dangerous and often deadly process. Despite these conditions, Sudanese communities continue to sustain a fragile food system through extraordinary resilience and ingenuity.

The report finds that millions of people in heavily conflict-affected areas, including parts of North Darfur and South Kordofan, are surviving on just one meal a day or less. Families are forced to skip meals entirely, reduce portions, and in some cases resort to eating leaves and animal feed, food not normally considered edible, as conflict, displacement and market disruptions continue to drive hunger to extreme levels. Communal kitchens, once a lifeline for many, are increasingly unable to meet rising needs as funding and food supplies dwindle.
