Sudan: 230,000 Children and People Recovering from Birth Are at Risk of Death by Starvation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations and aid groups are warning nearly 230,000 children,
pregnant people and new mothers in Sudan could die from starvation in
the coming months if their nutritional and health needs remain unmet.
The humanitarian crisis in Sudan comes as rival military factions
continue to fight despite calls for a Ramadan ceasefire. Earlier this
week, the Sudanese military regained control of the country's national
radio and television headquarters, which had been seized by the
paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
