Who should step in to end the humanitarian crisis in Sudan? | Inside Story
The battle for control of Sudan has created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
More than nine months of fighting between the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has pushed almost five million people to the brink of starvation.
The World Food Programme says the number of Sudanese going hungry has doubled since the violence began in April.
Insecurity and restricted access have made aid agencies’ operations nearly impossible.
Humanitarian organisations are appealing to the international community to increase their funding.
So, what can be done to ease the suffering of the Sudanese people?
