probability · 78% confidence · 12 days

Critical alert reports 72 miners killed in cross-border airstrike near Sudan-Egypt border, with conflict and drought escalating famine risk. Multiple signals indicate food insecurity reaching critical threshold (low health/food_insecurity values suggest acute monitoring). UN already engaged in aid suspension assessments. Historical base rate for refugee/humanitarian surge is 10%; active conflict + drought + documented casualties strongly elevate probability above baseline. Previous similar forecasts in this batch (Sudan collapse, Oleshky famine) suggest UN is actively monitoring corridor access.
