Idim Wesorno, the director of humanitarian operations of the United Nations, said at the meeting of the Security Council: One third of the inhabitants of Sudan, i.e. 18 million people, are facing severe food insecurity. . With the arrival of the dry season in May, this extreme food insecurity may reach catastrophic levels of famine in some areas of Darfur province in western Sudan.

He added: According to new estimates, a child dies every 2 hours in Al-Fasher camp located in North Darfur.

Vesorno added: Our humanitarian partners have estimated that in the coming weeks and months, nearly 222,000 children in this region may die due to malnutrition.

Deploring the human tragedy in Sudan due to the international community’s indifference and shunning of action, he considered the difficult situation in Sudan a nightmare.

It should be said that since April 15, 2023, the Sudanese army under the command of General Abdul Fattah al-Barhan and the rapid support forces of this country under the command of General Hamidti clashed with each other.

As ​​a result of these conflicts, 13 thousand and 900 Sudanese lost their lives, and about 8 million other people have been displaced from their homes, which is the largest displacement in It is considered among the countries of the world.
