Summary: Sudan's military and paramilitary forces are increasing their attacks, worsening the humanitarian crisis for millions, according to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. He noted that outside powers are contributing to the conflict, which has led to severe hunger and disease.

Guterres reported that over 750,000 people face catastrophic food insecurity in North Darfur. Recent violence in east-central Gezira province resulted in more than 120 deaths. The ongoing conflict has displaced over 11 million people, creating a significant refugee crisis.

The UN chief called for an immediate ceasefire and protection for civilians. He condemned attacks on civilians by both the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces, emphasizing the need for accountability for violations of international humanitarian law.
