Data: FEWS NET Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) population-size dataset, Sudan country-level aggregate, January 2019 through April 2026, one data point per month. Source: [https://fdw.fews.net/api/ipcpopulationsize/](https://fdw.fews.net/api/ipcpopulationsize/) (scenario=CS).
Tool: terminal-top — an open-source terminal dashboard where every data source is defined as a plain nix file. The “Current Crisis” panel you’re looking at is part of the sudan-top domain; other shipped domains cover Palestine (Tech for Palestine), global CO₂ emissions (Climate TRACE), and armed conflict events (UCDP at Uppsala University).
Live browser demo (no install needed): [https://raspberry.tailb4a955.ts.net/](https://raspberry.tailb4a955.ts.net/) — navigate to “Sudan Top” → “Current Crisis” to see this panel interactively. Runs on a Raspberry Pi over Tailscale Funnel, so expect some latency outside Europe.
Context: the IPC Famine Review Committee declared Phase 5 famine in the Zamzam IDP camp, North Darfur, in August 2024 — the first formal famine declaration anywhere since 2017. The number you see here undercounts in the sense that it excludes populations FEWS NET can’t reliably observe (much of RSF-held Darfur and Kordofan); the true figure is widely held to be higher.

IPC phases: 1 Minimal · 2 Stressed · 3 Crisis · 4 Emergency · 5 Famine. The “3+” figure combines Phase 3 through Phase 5.
