The United Nations has publicly accused Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of blocking critical aid deliveries to Darfur, where famine threatens millions. With the RSF controlling most of the war-torn region, desperate residents face 'unacceptable' barriers to survival, UN officials say. 💔
Aid Blockades and Bureaucratic Barriers
Since May, RSF troops have besieged cities like El-Fasher and attacked displacement camps, worsening what the UN calls 'the world's largest hunger crisis.' Nearly 25 million Sudanese nationwide risk famine-level food shortages, with Darfur's crisis deepening daily. 🍲⚠️
'The World Is Watching'
UN coordinator Clementine Nkweta-Salami slammed RSF demands for 'logistical support' and interference with aid routes: 'Life-saving help is being held hostage.' Relief workers report looted supplies, threats, and bureaucratic delays from both sides of Sudan's civil war. 🔥
A Region on the Brink
Over 12 million people have fled their homes since fighting began in 2023, and Darfur alone has 7 million facing extreme hunger. Without urgent action, the UN warns famine could spread to 10 areas by May. 🌪️ 'This isn't just a crisis—it's a failure of humanity,' said one aid worker anonymously.
