Wosolnu also said that humanitarian aid workers working in Sudan are constantly attacked and even killed by militants, and convoys carrying aid supplies are often robbed and extorted, seriously hindering local humanitarian operations.Vosorno warns that humanitarian response in Sudan cannot be sustained without the necessary resources and channels。
On April 15, 2023, an armed conflict broke out between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in the capital Khartoum, which then spread to other areas. According to UN statistics, the armed conflict that has lasted for more than a year has caused more than 10 million people to be displaced and about 26 million people are facing a food security crisis.
