ALBAWABA - About seven million people in the Darfur region are facing crisis levels of hunger, Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) figures revealed.
The United Nations (UN) accused Sudan's Rapid Support Forces of blocking aid to Darfur, AFP reported Monday. Nonetheless, the RSF, led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, controls nearly all of Darfur, a western region in Sudan.
"The persistent restrictions and bureaucratic hurdles" imposed by the RSF's humanitarian agency "are preventing life-saving assistance from reaching those in desperate need," Clementine Nkweta-Salami, the UN resident and humanitarian coordinator in Sudan, said in a statement.
"The world is watching, and it is unacceptable that the humanitarian community in Sudan... is unable to deliver essential aid," she maintained.
The war in Sudan has killed tens of thousands of people and created the world's largest hunger and displacement in history.
