The Sudanese region of Darfur has been facing a drought of unprecedented magnitude since the 1980s, according to the World Food Programme (WFP), aggravating the famine that has plagued the country in a civil war for the past three years.
The lack of rain threatens crops and aggravates famine in a war-ravaged region, warns the World Food Programme. Darfur is home to 5.6 million internally displaced persons, according to the United Nations.
