US’ Sudan envoy Massad Boulos said the United States is intensifying efforts to secure a humanitarian truce in Sudan as the conflict enters a critical phase.
He said discussions in Berlin with George Gerapetritis focused on expanding humanitarian access and outlining steps toward a comprehensive peace plan.
In posts on X, Boulos urged all parties to immediately halt military operations to prevent further civilian suffering.
He noted that the Berlin conference, marking three years since the war began, secured more than $1.7 billion in humanitarian funding commitments.
He said the scale of pledges reflects deep international concern over worsening displacement, hunger, and infrastructure collapse across Sudan.
Boulos warned that continued fighting is accelerating the humanitarian crisis and blocking any meaningful political settlement process.
He stressed that stopping escalation is a necessary condition for creating space for dialogue between the warring parties.
He also said international support will extend beyond funding to sustained diplomatic pressure aimed at achieving a negotiated settlement.
Boulos described a comprehensive humanitarian truce as essential, ensuring safe and unrestricted delivery of aid to affected populations.
He added that the international community increasingly views an end to the war as urgent to prevent total systemic collapse.
In a separate warning, he said Sudan is approaching a “last chance” moment to contain the conflict and avoid further deterioration.
He called on all sides to seize the opportunity for de-escalation and take immediate steps toward reducing hostilities.
