The UN declared on Tuesday that the humanitarian crisis in Sudan is a complete disaster, as the nation suffers from nearly 16 months of conflict between opposing factions.

Edem Wosornu, the Director of Operations and Advocacy at the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), criticized the blockade of essential supplies that endangers the lives of malnourished children in North Darfur, Sudan as “an entirely man-made crisis” and “a shameful stain on their collective conscience” during a Security Council meeting on Tuesday.
