It indicated that during the same period, 755,000 people in 10 states, including the five major Darfur states as well as the states of South and North Kordofan, Blue Nile, Gezira and Khartoum, are facing the level of catastrophe or famine – which is the fifth phase of the classification. While 8.5 million people – 18 percent of the population – are facing a phase 4 emergency.
