Government rejects UN report saying famine has spread to five areas of war-torn country.

The army-aligned government "categorically rejects the IPC 's description of the situation in Sudan as a famine", the foreign ministry says.

IPC said last week that the war between Sudan 's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces ( RSF ) had created famine conditions for 638,000 people, with a further 8.1 million on the brink of mass starvation.
