War in Sudan world’s “worst humanitarian crisis” – African Union

African Union officials on February 11th said that Sudan’s civil war is the “worst humanitarian crisis in the world” and said that it was leaving hundreds of thousands of children in a malnourished state, according to The New Arab and agencies.

Since April 2023, the Sudanese army has been at war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has caused some 12 million people to be displaced, the AU and the International Rescue Committee have said.

It “has hampered access to humanitarian relief, led to shortage of food and aggravated hunger,” chairman of an AU panel on Sudan, Mohamed Ibn Chambas, said on February 11th on X.
