Worsening crisis in Sudan as UN warns of access limits and WFP cites famine-like hunger

UN and WFP officials have warned that Sudan's humanitarian crisis is worsening, with limited access for aid agencies and rising hunger due to conflict and global disruptions.

• The UN Women representative for Sudan said UN bodies cannot easily reach conflict areas to provide support.
• The UN Women representative said women in Sudan have faced crimes against humanity without accountability for perpetrators.
• WFP Acting Executive Director Carl Skau said more than 100,000 people are facing famine-like conditions (IPC 5).
• Skau warned that soaring diesel prices and fertiliser shortages linked to the Strait of Hormuz disruption could further undermine food security.
