SUDAN’S civil war between rival generals is in danger of creating the world’s worst famine, World Food Programme executive director Cindy McCain warned today.

She said that the fighting between the country’s military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) had shattered millions of lives across the north-east African nation.

“The war in Sudan risks triggering the world’s largest hunger crisis,” Ms McCain stressed as she wrapped up a trip to South Sudan, to which hundreds of thousands of refugees have fled to escape the fighting in their home country.
