Sudan Conflict Reaches Third Year Amid Ongoing Fighting
ai generated text
Sudan's ongoing civil war is entering its third year, with millions of people displaced and the United Nations describing the humanitarian situation as the world's worst. The conflict has been dubbed the "forgotten war" and has resulted in significant hunger and displacement. Rights groups are urging the international community to protect civilians and provide aid access.
Thousands of displaced people are trapped & cut off from aid.
We really hope that tomorrow's event in London will also show greater support for the Sudanese brothers and sisters who have been displaced.
The attacks have exacerbated an already dire protection and humanitarian crisis in a city that has endured a devastating RSF siege since May last year.
Preliminary figures from local sources indicate that more than 300 civilians have been killed, including 10 humanitarian personnel from the NGO Relief International who lost their lives while operating one of the last functioning health centers in Zamzam camp.
This conference will bring together the international community to agree a pathway to end the suffering.
We need to act now to stop the crisis from becoming an all-out catastrophe, ensuring aid gets to those who need it the most.
The UK will not let Sudan be forgotten.
Achieving peace in Sudan depends on valuing every voice and everyone playing a role in building a prosperous Sudan.
The external support and flow of weapons must end.
Humanitarian relief personnel and medical personnel must be respected and protected. The perpetrators of these attacks must be brought to justice. Safe, unhindered and sustained access to the area, including the Zamzam camp, is urgently needed. Civilians who want to leave must be allowed to do so safely.
The Secretary-General emphasizes that attacks directed against civilians and indiscriminate attacks are strictly prohibited under international humanitarian law.
Indiscriminate shelling and air strikes continue to kill and maim. Markets, hospitals, schools, places of worship and displacement sites are being attacked. Sexual violence is rampant, with women and girls subjected to horrific acts. Civilians suffer from gross violations and abuses from all warring parties.
All of the civilian population, irrespective of where they are in the country, have basically been trapped between one, two or more parties. And they have been bearing the brunt of everything. The sheer numbers are just mind-boggling.
