Starvation in war-stricken Sudan “is almost everywhere”, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has told the BBC’s Today programme after visiting the country.”The situation in Sudan is very alarming… the massive displacement – it’s now the largest in the world, and, of course, famine,” director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.He said 12 million people were already displaced, adding that attention in the global community to Sudan was “really low” and race was a factor.Thousands of people have been killed since a civil war broke out in April 2023 between Sudan’s army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).”Imagine: destruction, displacement, diseases everywhere, and now famine,” Dr Tedros told the BBC.He said he had recently visited a camp for the internally displaced people and a hospital in Sudan.”You see there many children skin and bone, emaciated.”Close to 25 million people – half of Sudan’s population – “need support”, Dr Tedros said.He stressed that Sudan “is not getting the attention it deserves”, and that was the case with other recent conflicts in Africa.”I think race is in the play here. That’s what I feel now. We see the pattern now.”Dr Tedros – who grew up during war in Ethiopia – said: âEspecially in Africa, I think the attention is really, really low.ââThatâs the sad part, because you see it repeatedly, not just in Sudan,â he added.âI know the smell of war, the image of war, the sound of war,” the WHO chief said. “From that, I can understand how it impacts others, and I remember my mother praying I survive a day at a time – growing up, survival of the day was a big thing, I see the same thing is Sudan and Gaza.”Following Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Dr Tedros said the world did not give âequal attention …

Israel has made the safe return of residents to the north of the country an official war goal, the prime minister’s office has said.The decision was taken by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet late on Monday.About 60,000 people have been evacuated from northern Israel because of near-daily attacks by Iran-backed Hezbollah in neighbouring Lebanon.Cross-border fighting escalated on 8 October 2023 – a day after the deadly attack on Israel by Hamas gunmen from the Gaza Strip – when Hezbollah fired at Israeli positions, in solidarity with the Palestinians.”The Security Cabinet has updated the objectives of the war to include the following: Returning the residents of the north securely to their homes,” a statement from the prime minister’s office said.”Israel will continue to act to implement this objective,” it added.Earlier on Monday, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said the only way to return Israel’s northern residents to their homes was through “military action”, during a meeting with US envoy Amos Hochstein.âThe possibility for an agreement is running out as Hezbollah continues to âtie itselfâ to Hamas, and refuses to end the conflict,â a statement from his office said.”Therefore, the only way left to ensure the return of Israelâs northern communities to their homes, will be via military action.âGallant’s comments came as speculation grew that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to replace him amid differences between the two men over the war in Gaza.US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin warned of the devastating consequen …
