  The Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations responsible for humanitarian affairs has said that the conflict in Sudan could plunge the entire region into a human disaster. Martin Griffiths has said that war and famine are leading Sudan to the brink of total annihilation. Griffiths added that hundreds of children in Sudan are at risk of death and malnutrition. At the same time, news sources yesterday Friday reported heavy fighting between the country's army and the Rapid Aid Forces in the cities of Khartoum and Omdurman.

Martin Griffiths has expressed his concern about the resumption of conflict in Sudan and said that the food distribution channels in this war-torn country have been closed, along with the complete end of food reserves. The UN official called on the conflicting parties to "stop fighting and allow humanitarian aid operations." Thousands of people have been killed and more than 4 million displaced, mainly in the city of Khartoum and Darfur state since the start of fighting between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Army (SAF) on April 15.
