A ruinous war raging for about a year between rival generals in Sudan risks creating the world`s largest hunger crisis, the top UN food official warned Wednesday, as the global attention has been focused on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
Cindy McCain, head of the World Food Programme, said Sudan`s war, which pits the country`s military against a violent paramilitary group, has shattered the lives of millions across the northeastern African nation. "The war in Sudan risks triggering the world`s largest hunger crisis," McCain said as she wrapped a trip to neighbouring South Sudan, where hundreds of thousands had fled the fighting in their home country.
