As Sudan marks the first anniversary of its civil war, the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has highlighted the severe humanitarian crisis in the country. The conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces has resulted in over 15,000 deaths and displaced approximately 8 million people, with another 8.5 million forced to flee their homes. Guterres emphasized the urgency of international aid and warned of a potential 'full blown intercommunal conflict' in the Darfur region. The UN and various stakeholders, including the World Food Programme, have stressed the catastrophic nature of the situation, with 5 million people on the brink of famine and only a fraction of the affected population being reachable due to obstructions by warring parties.
