Sudan's worsening situation leaves 2 out of every 3 people in need of aid, UN official says
Sudan’s worsening situation leaves 2 out of every 3 people in need of aid, UN official says
Two out of three people in war-torn Sudan are in dire need of aid, a U.N. official said Wednesday.
The situation is getting “horrific for civilians,” U.N. humanitarian affairs and relief head Tom Fletcher told The Associated Press, as aid groups struggle to deliver much-needed assistance to communities.
“The access we need is far too limited by the conflict,” he said during a phone interview from Darfur.

Doctors without Borders, or MSF, said on Wednesday that its teams have seen “staggering” malnutrition rates among those who fled el-Fasher and arrived in Tawila.
