8/6/2024: Sudan Tribune - Over a million denied aid in Sudan last May, UN reports

Sudan Tribune report that, according to a recent report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), close to 1.1 million people were denied crucial humanitarian assistance in Sudan during May 2024.

The affected areas include Kordofan, Darfur, Khartoum, and Al-Jazira states, with the main reasons cited as denial of travel permits, border crossing restrictions, insecurity, and obstructions by parties involved in the conflict.

OCHA further reveals that the situation has been deteriorating since April 2024, with an estimated 1.7 million people denied aid across the same regions. These figures underscore the alarming impact of the ongoing conflict on humanitarian access and the urgent need for unimpeded aid delivery.
