00:00The United Nations Security Council received a briefing on Monday about the

00:06escalating violence and worsening humanitarian situation in Sudan as the

00:11paramilitary rapid support forces and Sudanese army battle for control of the

00:17country. The conflict has again intensified confirming fears that the

00:24dry season will bring increased fighting and renewed attacks on civilians.

00:28Each passing day brings staggering levels of violence and destruction.

00:34Civilians are enduring immense and imaginable suffering with no end in sight.

00:41In recent weeks the conflict has centered in the Kordofan region where the rapid

00:47support forces have made significant territorial gains. Vital services including

00:52health centers have also come under attack even as the population faces increased

00:58levels of disease and hunger.

01:01If we talk about malnutrition, Sudan is one of the world's largest food crisis and

01:20people are facing high levels of acute malnutrition and food insecurity. 45% of the population are in

01:32IPC 3 and plus meaning IPC 3, 4 and 5 which is basically famine. Sudan is also among the top

01:40four countries globally with the highest prevalence of global acute malnutrition affecting if I look at my

01:48my notes they are affecting 13.6% of the population.

01:52The World Food Programme is warning that the situation will get worse within months as food stocks run out and fighting continues.
