As Sudan approaches the one-year anniversary of its conflict, the United Nations and various organizations have raised alarms about the dire humanitarian crisis unfolding in the country. The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child has warned of a 'generational catastrophe' with an estimated 24 million children on the brink. David Miliband of the International Rescue Committee has called for increased funding, highlighting Sudan's position at the top of the Emergency Watchlist for 2024 and warning that instability will spread without more aid. The UK, alongside 41 other countries, has urged for full and unhindered humanitarian access. The US has announced an additional $47 million in aid, bringing its total contribution to over $968 million since 2023. The UN has also highlighted the risk of malnutrition, with around 222,000 children at risk of death in the coming weeks.
