International Warning of Widespread Famine in Sudan as Burhan Sticks to War

The United States, European countries and dozens of international partners have issued a joint warning that Sudan is nearing widespread famine, urging both sides in the war to remove barriers to humanitarian aid.

The appeal called on the warring parties to lift all restrictions on relief assistance, placing access to aid at the centre of the international response to the looming crisis.

The partners also demanded protection for humanitarian workers and civilian facilities, highlighting the need to safeguard relief operations as the threat of hunger grows.

The warning comes as Burhan remains committed to continuing the war, underscoring the contrast between international demands for humanitarian access and the persistence of the conflict.
