Thousands of black African Sudanese people have been forced out of their homes and villages by armies working for the government.

Many of these families are now heading to refugee camps on the border of Sudan and Chad, but camps don't have enough supplies or aid to feed everyone.

The charity Save the Children is now calling for urgent food deliveries to stop thousands dying of hunger.

The European Union has agreed to send £40m to help tackle the famine.

Starving

The area worst affected is Darfur, where most of the fighting is taking place.

Charities have warned around 300,000 people in Darfur could still starve even if help is sent immediately.
