Description

As indiscriminate killings, sexual violence and famine deepen the crisis in Sudan, the Security Council must rise to the challenge of delivering lasting peace in that country, that body heard from both humanitarian officials and Member States. 

Noting that the war in Sudan has now raged for over 20 months, Edem Wosornu, Director of Operations and Advocacy in the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, highlighted the “unbearable” numbers of civilians killed and injured there. 

She reported that Thomas Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, held discussions with Sudanese authorities in November, which led to agreement on increased humanitarian presence in key locations.
