UN Security Council Briefed on Worsening Sudan Humanitarian Catastrophe
Top UN officials briefed the Security Council on the escalating disaster in Sudan, where civil war, famine, and historic flooding have left 19.5 million people acutely food insecure. The briefing detailed frequent drone attacks against schools, markets, and power plants. Conflict-related sexual violence was also highlighted as a systemic weapon of war. OCHA reported that aid delivery remains severely obstructed, particularly in North Darfur, as conditions continue to deteriorate rapidly across the country’s agricultural heartlands.
