Humanitarian crisis rages on in Sudan as relief funding dwindles

As Sudan’s civil war enters its sixth month, civilians are facing a colossal humanitarian crisis as relief funding dwindles and army-imposed restrictions strangle its delivery, Al Jazeera quotes aid groups.

Hundreds of patients needing trauma surgery are out of luck, and pregnant women needing c-sections have been referred to the Turkish hospital, which only has supplies to last two to three weeks, MSF warned.

The army has consolidated control over the aid response from its de facto administrative capital in Port Sudan on the Red Sea and is further restricting access to RSF areas, the impediments putting countless lives at risk, aid workers explain.

The restriction of aid into areas under the RSF is pushing civilians to rely on the group for handouts despite its role in creating the humanitarian crisis in the first place.
