UN Demands Immediate Aid Access to Avert Humanitarian Disaster in Darfur

As conflict intensifies in Sudan, the UN warns of severe starvation risks, urging global diplomatic efforts to secure aid pathways.

  • The World Food Program reports over 1.7 million in Darfur face emergency hunger levels, exacerbated by ongoing military conflicts.
  • RSF control and sieges around Darfur's cities hinder aid delivery, with El Fasher's 500,000 civilians particularly vulnerable.
  • Recent violence includes targeted attacks on aid workers and restrictions on aid convoys, complicating relief efforts.
  • Malnutrition rates soar as residents resort to eating grass and peanut shells; children and the elderly are severely affected.
  • International calls intensify for secure, unrestricted humanitarian access to prevent one of the world's largest hunger crises.
