The decline in food security and the rise in diseases compounded by lack of access to basic services and humanitarian assistance are the key drivers of acute malnutrition, espe cially in conflict affected areas. [...] NUTRITION OUTLOOK The complex nature of the emergency in Sudan points to a high likelihood of rapid deterioration in the nutrition situation over the coming weeks as the lean season progresses particularly in the most inaccessible areas. [...] The scale of needs is enormous, with the nutrition cluster having identified 93 very high priority localities, and a further 46 high priority out of the 190 localities in Sudan, based on triangulation of the IPC results, the nutrition situation, and the levels of displacement. [...] Adequate humanitarian funding for the four life saving sectors nutrition, food security, WASH and health could significantly increase the level of humanitarian operations and save lives of millions of children and pregnant and breastfeeding women, who are major risk now and in the months to come. [...] This is a joint appeal of the Nu- trition Cluster highlighting the dire situation, the impending risk during the upcoming lean season and the urgent action required to save the lives of millions of wom- en and children in Sudan.
