1998 Sudan famine
The famine in Sudan in 1998 was a humanitarian disaster caused mainly by the Second Sudanese Civil War, including attacks on civilians, mass displacement, the destruction and seizure of food resources, and restrictions on humanitarian aid, with drought linked to El Niño as a contributing factor. The worst affected area was Bahr el Ghazal in southwestern Sudan. In this region over 70,000 people died during the famine.
