Famine has spread to two more areas of war-torn Sudan, including the western city of El-Fasher, which was overrun by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) last week, a UN-backed report said on Monday.

The Rome-based Integrated Food Security Phase Classification said famine had been confirmed in El-Fasher and the besieged city of Kadugli in South Kordofan state, adding that twenty more areas in the Darfur and Kordofan regions were also at risk of famine.
