Abdel-Qadir said his government was committed to providing humanitarian assistance to those affected, in ways that ensure respect for the nation’s sovereignty. The ongoing clashes, which began on April 15, 2023, have led to a dire humanitarian situation, with more than 13,000 fatalities reported by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). OCHA has expressed deep concern over Sudan’s displacement crisis, which is now considered the largest in the world due to the escalating conflict.
