Top United Nations officials warned the Security Council of "extreme and immediate danger" reaching at least 800,000 civilians in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, as aggravated violence between Sudan's internal clashing forces spreads across the country.

UN political affairs chief Rosemary DiCarlo said, "Fighting in El Fasher could unleash bloody intercommunal strife throughout Darfur."

UN aid operations director Edem Wosornu added that the violence, which could affect 800,000 people in El Fasher, risks expansion to cities near Darfur, "where more than nine million people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance."

This comes as Sudan's year-long crisis finds no way of mitigation, leaving 25 million people in need of humanitarian aid, and nine million people displaced from their homes, according to Reuters.

World donors allocate $2.1bln for Sudan amid worsening crisis

On April 16, world donors pledged and allocated over $2.1 billion in humanitarian aid for Sudan amid a rapidly worsening humanitarian crisis due to the long-term conflict the country has been engulfed in. 

French President Emmanuel Macron announced the news at an international conference in Paris convened to rally material aid to Sudan's 51 million people. He revealed that the money would go to providing food, water, medicine, medical supplies, and other necessities to relieve the tragedy. 

According to The Washington Post, Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne said the conference was held to extend support to the African nation that has been struck by war due to "international indifference". 

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday warned against forgetting the people of Sudan, reiterating that they are in dire need of lifesaving aid. 

"I will not relent in my calls to silence the guns, and meet the aspirations of the Sudanese people for a peaceful and secure future," he said in a Security Council conference. 

The future of Sudan requires the contributions, participation and vision of all Sudanese.
