Sudanese volunteers said on Tuesday that three children died of starvation in a neighborhood of the capital Khartoum, which is under siege by the Sudanese army.

According to the emergency room of the Ombada suburb of Omdurman, the children died of acute hunger, as a result of the interruption of meals from the kitchens of the charity rooms due to the lack of adequate support to operate them, and the chamber confirmed that its initiatives cover only 10% of the necessary needs.

The emergency room launched a distress call for urgent intervention to help the citizens of Ombada, who are experiencing a humanitarian disaster due to the lack of food, medicine, and drinking water.

The World Food Program (WFP) said in February it was receiving reports of people starving to death in Sudan, and that the number of hungry people had doubled over the past year as civilians were deprived of aid because of the war.

Some neighborhoods of the capital, Khartoum, are under siege by the Sudanese army, which increases the suffering of residents and exacerbates the humanitarian situation.
