Thirteen children died last month due to a severe food shortage at a displacement camp in war-torn Sudan's East Darfur state, according to medics.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of critical shortages of medicine, food, shelter, and fuel in Gaza, particularly in the north, and is urging Israel to allow more aid and facilitate humanitarian access, News.az reports citing foreign media.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric expressed deep concern on Tuesday about the deteriorating food situation in Sudan, noting that almost 26 million men, women, and children are acutely hungry.
