# ‘Dire crisis for children’ in Sudan, aid groups warn as millions more go hungry | Global development | The Guardian

> Aid groups report that four months of fighting in Sudan have pushed millions into food insecurity, with about 1.5 million more children expected to reach crisis hunger levels by September. Save the Children says hunger is now the worst since records began in 2012, and staple prices such as sorghum, millet and wheat are already high.

Conflict-driven food insecurity keeps demand for imported sorghum and wheat high in Sudan. Reduced planting from displacement could further tighten supplies for those importers.
