Our NewsHour presenter Guy Shone examined the rapidly escalating humanitarian crisis in Sudan, now two years into a brutal war that has pushed millions to the edge of survival.
The program highlighted how regions like Darfur, South Kordofan, and Khartoum are being devastated by relentless shelling, mass displacement, and the spread of deadly diseases. The Spokesperson for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Stéphane Dujarric, warned of worsening conditions amid growing insecurity, with more than 8,500 reported cholera cases and disrupted aid access severely hampering relief efforts. In El Fasher and Dibabad, civilians endure nightly bombardments that deepen the suffering.
The program also focused on the collapse of education, highlighting that 250,000 children in North Darfur alone have lost access to schools. With the rainy season threatening to worsen the cholera outbreak, the UN is urgently calling for increased funding, safe cross-border aid delivery, and immediate global attention before the crisis spirals further out of control.
