"The world's worst, most complex and cruel crisis", is unfolding in Sudan without making it into onto our prime-time news, according to UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

With nearly 9 million displaced within the country - half of them children - and almost 2 million refugees abroad, Sudan is indeed currently the largest displacement crisis in the world. And the worst is still to come: combat disrupted planting season in Sudan's most fertile regions. Nearly 20 million people, almost one of two Sudanese, are facing acute food insecurity in a country that used to be a major food producer.
