UN demands unimpeded aid access to Sudan as famine looms

GENEVA: The United Nations called Friday for Sudan’s warring factions to provide unimpeded access to deliver desperately-needed aid as the spectre of famine loom after nearly a year of conflict.
The war between army chief Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan and his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, has since April last year killed tens of thousands, destroyed infrastructure and crippled the economy.
It has also led to a dire humanitarian crisis and acute food shortages, with the country teetering on the brink of famine.
