While the world's attention is focusing on the desperate humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the World Food Programme THIS WEEK warned that the war in Sudan threatens to trigger "the world's largest hunger crisis". The WFP said on Wednesday that more than 25 million people scattered across Sudan, South Sudan and Chad are trapped in a spiral of food insecurity as the brutal civil war shows no sign of easing after 11 months of fighting. The UN agency warned that the humanitarian response is at "breaking point" and will remain so unless the violence comes to a halt. Fighting between the Sudanese Army and a rival group known as the Rapid Support Forces has left thousands dead and eight million people displaced. Sebenzile Nkambule spoke to Mohamed Gamal , the National Communications Officer for the World Food Programme in Sudan
