“Inside the country, as you know, 30 million people are in need of some sort of emergency humanitarian assistance. More than 4 million people have fled the country. Sudan, a country I've been saying it in several briefings, blessed with resources, agricultural land, arable land, a country once the breadbasket of the horn, now, of course, having such a hunger crisis, unprecedented in its scale and severity, famine conditions you know, have been reported in a year ago in Zamzam camp and North Darfur.”

“638,000 people are in IPC5, which is significant catastrophic food insecurity, more than half of the global number. Acute malnutrition, surging hotspots: Darfur, you've heard this before, the Kordofans and also Khartoum, the capital. Of course, Sudan remains a protection crisis. You've heard us talk about it. The War began more than 866 days ago, raging with complete violations of international humanitarian law.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Edem Wosornu, Director of Operations and Advocacy, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), United Nations:
“A country itself fragile and yet supporting 1.4 million refugees, of which 850 or so 1000 are Sudanese. They have Nigerian refugees and others as well. This influx is overwhelming their national security, their borders, but they keep the borders open.one in every three in eastern Chad in Ouaddaï, Wadi Fira and other Sila provinces are Sudanese, so it's also changed the demographics of the country.”
