UN Relief Chief Dispatched to Sudan Amidst Unprecedented Humanitarian Crisis

UN Emergency Relief chief Martin Griffiths is being sent to Sudan as the humanitarian crisis in the country is "reaching breaking point" with people struggling to find food, water, and fuel. The warring factions have extended a ceasefire for 72 hours, but the fighting has continued despite several previous ceasefires. More than 500 people have been killed and tens of thousands forced to leave their homes since the conflict erupted in April. The UN's attempts to provide relief have been complicated by the looting of humanitarian offices and warehouses, which has depleted most of their supplies.
