MSF suspends support to famine-stricken camp in Sudan's Darfur

        Medical charity MSF says it has been forced to suspend work in the vast camp for displaced people where famine has been confirmed in Sudan's North Darfur region, putting thousands of malnourished children at risk of death.
        
        MSF said it had to halt activities in Zamzam camp following the obstruction of aid around nearby al-Fashir by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been besieging the city for months, as well as the Sudanese army's systematic blocking of aid to areas outside its control.
        
        The army and the RSF have been locked in conflict for nearly 18 months, triggering a profound humanitarian crisis in which more than 10 million people have been driven from their homes and U.N. agencies have struggled to deliver relief.
