East Sudan: Over 200,000 facing starvation By: Rajab Ali NAIROBI: Local aid groups said in an appeal in Nairobi on Friday that more than 200,000 people face hunger due to acute food shortages in camps and villages in eastern Sudan. Beja Rehabilitation Organization, Sudan Humanitarian and Relief Agency and Sudan Future Care said 10 years of fighting between the Khartoum government and an eastern rebel group largely constituted of members of the Beja community had exacerbated food shortages in the region. This year, erratic rains have caused poor harvests in eastern Sudan, where there are no international aid groups. END |
