The United Nations’ top official in Sudan warned the country has been “abandoned” as war enters its fourth year, worsening a massive humanitarian crisis.
Speaking from Khartoum, Denise Brown described widespread devastation, saying global inaction has left millions without support as violence escalates.
She cited atrocities including mass killings, sexual violence, and famine conditions, with a UN probe finding signs of genocide in parts of the conflict.
The war between General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army and the Rapid Support Forces has been fuelled internal disagreement, prolonging the fighting.
In Darfur, displacement camps have been overrun and ethnic massacres have killed thousands, forcing large-scale civilian flight.
Fighting has shifted to Kordofan, where near-daily strikes and clashes have pushed hundreds of thousands toward starvation.
Brown said the UN is receiving reports of children dying daily in El-Obeid, where many displaced families have sought refuge.
Across Sudan, 33 million people need aid, as basic services collapse and access to food and healthcare is severely limited.
She warned that despite aid pledges, there is no clear path to peace, calling the global response insufficient.
