Starvation in Sudan

Newshour

Available for 27 days

The Sudan Doctors’ Network is calling for the reopening of aid corridors in the besieged city of El-Fasher in North Darfur, where it says at least three children are dying daily in 'catastrophic' situation. The Rapid Support Forces have been fighting the Sudanese army for control of El-Fasher, one of the last government-held areas in the Darfur region. We hear from a man who has been in the city since the start of the conflict. Also in the programme: Research suggests advanced AI systems are resisting attempts to shut them down; and growing tensions in Venezuela as President Maduro accuses the United States of 'fabricating' a new war.
