In Zamzam camp we had data that confirmed the acute malnutrition threshold for famine had been passed and that the mortality threshold had nearly passed as early as January.
Estimates are that some 1 million people died in Ethiopia alone during the infamous famine in the mid-1980s, highlighting the devastating impacts this crisis can carry.
According to the IPC, the threshold requirements for famine are: 1 in 5 households face an extreme lack of food, malnutrition rates among young children are at 30%.
The ongoing civil war in Sudan has decimated the country's food supply, pushing the situation to alarming levels, yet no official famine declaration has been made.
