these are south sudan and chad, for example.what is most needed on the ground in sudan, i spoke to abdullahi halakhe, the senior advocate of east, horn and southern africa with refugees international. can you explain to us the most urgent challenges that are facing people in sudan right now? thank you so much. i think the most frequent need right now is an acute, man—made, acute, food insecurity, because of the conflict. 4.9 million people are at the doorstep of famine, the ipc fell short of making that declaration, because they do not have similar access that humanitarian aid agencies do not have because of parties in the conflict, the sudanese army and the rapid support forces are denying people access to these communities. i want to make it very clear that this is not the first time that sudan is experiencing feminine. �*88, �*84 — so it is important that parties to the conflict, they should realise the could be held accountable for the man—made caused famine. where are we seeing the most acute humanitarian and security emerg

negotiation between sudan's government and the rapid support forces? of humanitarian aid is not contingent on the ceasefire, the parties to the conflict need to understand that, because we've seen conflict go on around the world but access is allowed by parties, because it is their obligation to do that, but to your question, the parties need to allow the aid to come in across the border, that can be delivered, it was done a couple of decades ago when sudan and south sudan were fighting and many lives were saved, at the same time aid across the lines, meaning some areas are controlled by rsf, rapid support forces and some by the military. that aid needs to go from one point to the other. humanitarian aid agencies know how to deliver aid in even some of the most desperate situations, where logistics are difficult, but if the parties do not allow them, if the parties obstruct them and use the aid to prosecute this conflict, they are putting a lot of lives at risk. again, the use of siege, the use of food as a weapon of war, is a crime that one could be t

the breadbasket of sudan is not growing food. secondly, the crisis not just in sudan.of the neighbors are affected. chad, also south sudan, is also facing a major food emergency. and ethiopia next door. we have never seen so many neighboring countries in this region for sending to food emergencies -- sending into food emergencies at the same time. this is all happening while the international emergency system is being squeezed. it is facing major cuts. we have some pretty not responding as required stop it is quite calamitous. amy: i want to go to a clip from unicef, which warrants hundreds of thousands of sudanese children are suffering from severe malnutrition. this is jill lawler, chief of field operations and emergency for unicef in sudan. >> the numbers of acutely malnourished children are rising. the lean season hasn't even begun. nearly 3.7 million children are projected to be acutely malnourished, including 730,000 who need life-saving treatment. the need for children in khartoum are massive but this is also true in darfur where i was last month on a cross-bord

what are the problems you are facing in sudan? let mejust segue problems you are facing in sudan?his brutal war is creating a perfect storm for a famine in sudan. you just mentioned about the hunger crisis which is of a massive proportion put it close to 18 million people are in acute hunger. this is quite unprecedented. and link to this what we're seeing is a record number of children being admitted for severe acute malnutrition, which is the worst form of malnutrition. in fact sudan reports the world largest number of malnutrition malnutrition to children, and these kids are living in 135 localities across the sudan which are very hard to reach. and half of them are in powerfor in khartoum which are active conflict zones for our biggest challenge —— in there for her. the biggest challenge is reaching these children who urgently need nutrition support. without which they will die or at a high risk of dying. so access is our biggest challenge. we need unhindered sustained access across the conflict lines as well as across the conflict lines as well as across the borders. secondly,
