Sudan: Millions facing food crisis

The World Food Programme has said the war could trigger the world’s largest hunger crisis.

The World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that the war in Sudan could trigger the world’s largest hunger crisis, unless fighting stops. More than 10 months of fighting between rival forces has left nearly 14,000 people dead, over eight million displaced and much of the country’s population cut off and facing rising hunger. As war rages, Sudanese families continue to flee to neighbouring countries. We explain what's happening in Sudan and hear the latest from our correspondent.

In the US Nikki Haley is dropping out of the 2024 presidential race after winning just two Republican primaries. Her departure will leave her rival Donald Trump as the only Republican left after he dominated Super Tuesday, racking up a series of wins. We speak to her supporters to find out what's next.

As farmers protest around the world, we speak to farmers across Africa about the challenges they face and the future.

An assessment by Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) in January found that at the camp, which is home to an estimated 400,000 people, two babies were dying every hour. Nearly 40% of children aged six months to two years old were malnourished, the group found.
