The United Nations has warned of a worsening humanitarian crisis in Sudan as the rainy season approaches, with imminent flooding expected to hinder relief efforts and increase health risks, according to the \u201cThis Morning\u201d website.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued by the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the UN expressed concern that the anticipated flooding in Sudan\u2014likely to continue through October\u2014could cut off access to affected areas.<\/p>\n
The statement emphasized that the floods may obstruct the delivery of essential aid to millions of people at a time when humanitarian organizations face severe funding shortages, limiting their ability to pre-position supplies ahead of the rainy season.<\/p>\n
The report noted that last year\u2019s floods affected around half a million people and warned that the number of affected individuals this year could be even higher due to continued mass displacement caused by the conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF militia.<\/p>\n
The United Nations indicated that the armed conflict has displaced more than 12 million people since April 2023, further compounding the country\u2019s fragile humanitarian situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
