UN Security Council Calls for Ceasefire in Sudan During Ramadan

The resolution, backed by 14 countries with Russia abstaining, aims to facilitate aid for 25 million people in need amidst the ongoing conflict.

The UN Security Council has urged for a ceasefire in Sudan to coincide with Ramadan, seeking to aid 25 million people in desperate need.
Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has led to tens of thousands of deaths and over 8 million displacements.
The resolution emphasizes the need for 'unhindered' humanitarian access and expresses concern over the worsening humanitarian situation.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the African Union have backed the ceasefire, highlighting the conflict's threat to regional stability.
The humanitarian response plan for Sudan is only 4% funded, with 18 million people on the brink of famine.
