The comment makes sense given the most recent Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report released on June 27, 2024 According to the report, Sudan is experiencing the worst degrees of acute food insecurity the IPC has ever recorded fourteen months into the conflict. With 14 locations at risk of famine and a startling 25.6 million people already suffering extreme degrees of acute food insecurity,

Declared in concern over the escalating humanitarian situation, the statement reaffirms the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) demand for the parties to the conflict to permit the quick, safe, unhindered, and continuous passage of humanitarian supplies for people in need. This covers the elimination of bureaucratic obstacles as well as other ones. In line with resolution 2736 enacted on 13 June 2024, the statement emphasizes the immediate requirement of parties to enable the provision of visas and travel authorizations for humanitarian personnel and necessary supplies.
The signatories urge the warring parties in Sudan to uphold their commitments under international humanitarian law, instantly stop hostilities, and follow all pertinent Security Council resolutions. They further exhord all international players to stop arming the fighting groups with weapons or supplies and to refrain from any activities meant to aggravate tensions and feed the violence.
The united declaration emphasizes the need of a coordinated worldwide reaction to meet the pressing needs of Sudanese people. It endorses the IPC recommendations to raise nutrition interventions, restore functional systems, and enhance data collecting and calls for an instantaneous, scaled-up humanitarian aid response.
The remark ends with a plea on the world community to act fast to solve the problem and stop more degradation of the humanitarian conditions in Sudan. It underlines the need of striving for a sustainable settlement to the conflict thereby guaranteeing a better future for the people of Sudan.
