Christian Solidarity International, a Christian human rights group, visited Sudan recently and have expressed their fears that there could be a famine in north east Sudan. The agency found that after a poor harvest 100,000 people were at starvation level. They predict that, as the shortage of food becomes more severe, hundreds of thousands of Sudanese could flood across the border into Eritrea and Ethiopia.
The CSI says that Sudan's Government has failed to acknowledge the seriousness of the situation.
