Earlier, the United Nations warned in a statement that war and hunger threaten to completely “destroy” Sudan in light of the violent battles taking place since April 15 between the army and the Rapid Support Forces.
“The war in Sudan raises a humanitarian emergency of enormous proportions. This conflict, which is expanding, with the resulting hunger, disease and population displacement, is threatening to overthrow the entire country,” said the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator Martin Griffiths.
Griffiths expressed concern about the spread of violence in Sudan and said that the protracted conflict could push the entire region into a “humanitarian catastrophe”.
He cited specific concerns regarding the safety of civilians in Gezira state, which is the country’s breadbasket.
“Hundreds of thousands of children suffer from acute malnutrition and risk death if left untreated,” he added.
