Sudanese civilians in Darfur facing famine amid searing heat, fierce clashes, widespread atrocities

War, climate change and man-made shortages have brought Sudan -- a nation already facing a litany of horrors -- to the shores of a water crisis.

With access to water and other scarce resources a source of on-going conflict in Sudan.
