Here's the latest from the UN

One year of brutal war in Sudan has led to unimaginable suffering and a devastating humanitarian crisis.

As a result of the fighting, Sudan and its neighbours are experiencing one of the largest and most challenging humanitarian and displacement crises in the world.?

The number of Sudanese forced to flee has now surpassed 8.6

million people, with 1.8 million of them having crossed borders to other countries, according to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency . ?

A year into the conflict, thousands of people continue to leave Sudan on a daily basis in search of safety, protection and assistance. Most of those forced to flee are women and children, and many are arriving in remote areas with few possessions, in desperate need of food, water, shelter and medical care.

The World Food Programme has warned that famine in Sudan is a distinct possibility in the coming months and that the international community must come together to push for greater humanitarian access and funding for aid.?

Food prices in Sudan are 73% higher than last year, further fueling the hunger crisis. Agricultural lands have turned into battlegrounds, while farms and businesses stand abandoned as people have fled for safety. There are huge cash shortages nationwide, and repeated cuts to communication channels hinder efforts to keep commerce functioning.?

The ripple effects are felt in nearby South Sudan and Chad, where disrupted trade and mass displacement is straining resources and intensifying hunger

In its latest update , 联合国儿童基金会 stressed that children are acutely feeling the impacts of the war. A record 14 million children – half of all children in Sudan – now require life-saving humanitarian assistance.

Almost 4 million children under 5-years-old in Sudan are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition this year, including 730,000 projected to suffer from life-threatening severe acute malnutrition.?

Sudan also now has one of the worst education crises in the world, with more than 90% of the country's 19 million school-age children having no access to formal education.?

UNICEF continues working to reach the most vulnerable, but funding shortages have created obstacles in their efforts to help those in need.

As the United Nations continues its tireless work to alleviate the immense hardships faced by the people of Sudan, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has stressed: “The only path out of this horror is a political solution.”?

"The Sudanese people need more than humanitarian support. They need an end to the bloodshed. They need peace."
