Adam Rijal - Official Spokesperson for the General Coordination for Displaced Persons and Refugees

The stories of survivors of slow death shocked and exhausted me. We have never witnessed anything like this in our lifetime, and it continues to happen, but such cases require psychological support. The war has reached dangerous and alarming levels. How long will innocent lives be lost to hunger, thirst, and the machines of the warring parties?

Letitia Lunen - UK Spokesperson to the United Nations

In Sudan, journalists also face grave risks documenting the atrocities of war. Journalists must be able to carry out their work safely and without censorship or harassment.

Ahmed Aboul Gheit - Secretary-General of the League of Arab States

A beloved Arab country like Sudan is facing the most severe humanitarian crisis on earth today... The situation in Yemen is no better... The reasons in both cases are political... but the price the people are paying is exorbitant and beyond description.

Tedros Adhanom - Director-General of the World Health Organization

On behalf of WHO, I send our deepest condolences to our WFP colleagues and the families of those who lost their lives in Sudan while on duty. Humanitarian workers are not a target, and we demand full protection so that our colleagues can do their jobs safely.

Tom Perello - US Special Envoy to Sudan

Warring parties in Sudan must not bombard IDP camps and respect their civilian status. The recent shelling by the Rapid Support Forces on Zamzam camp in Darfur killed at least eight people. We call on the Rapid Support Forces and all armed groups to protect civilians and civilian objects.

Clementine Nkweta Salami - United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan

More than 530 aid trucks have delivered essential supplies across Adre, Tine and through transport lines since August, benefiting nearly 3 million people. All parties must ensure predictable access and movement of humanitarian supplies and assistance across all routes necessary for a sustainable aid operation in Sudan.

Filippo Grandi - United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees

The number of people who have fled Sudan since the civil war broke out in April 2023 has reached 3 million – with many more displaced within the country. Those fighting for dominance in Sudan are not only destroying it – they are also emptying it of its people.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield - US Ambassador to the United Nations

This week, the UN Human Rights Office released a devastating report on widespread sexual violence by the RSF, “including gang rape, abduction and detention of victims in conditions amounting to sexual slavery.” There must be accountability for these horrors.

10-28-2024

US Special Envoy to Sudan - Tom Perriello

We are following the horrific reports of atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces against Sudanese civilians across Al-Jazeera State, including rape and killing of children. We call on the Rapid Support Forces to stop slaughtering civilians and all actions that violate the commitments made by Lt. Gen. Hemedti Dagalo and the leadership of the Rapid Support Forces as part of the Sudan Support Coalition Code of Conduct and the Jeddah Declaration.

Fatih Yildiz - Turkish Ambassador to Sudan

The pictures I received from Al Jazeera broke my heart. I am truly sad about what is happening in Sudan. May God have mercy on the martyrs, hasten the recovery of the sick, and inspire their families with patience and solace.

26- 10-2024

Adam Rijal - Spokesperson for the General Coordination of Displaced Persons and Refugees in Darfur

What is happening in Al-Jazeera is unfortunate and indicates the depth of the real crisis that the Sudanese are experiencing. The Darfur region is one of the regions that has experienced bitterness for more than two decades, and now the same crisis is taking place in Al-Jazeera and other regions of Sudan.

António Guterres - Secretary-General of the United Nations

We need peace in Sudan, with all parties committed to silencing their guns and committing to the path towards sustainable peace.

وليام كارتر - مدير المجلس النرويجي للاجئين في السودان

الحرب المروعة في السودان مزقت النسيج الاجتماعي وأدت إلى دمار اقتصادي. لكن القتال في المدن واستخدام الأسلحة المتفجرة خلفا آثاراً عميقة في العديد من الأحياء. إعادة الإعمار المادي ستتطلب وقتًا، وتفانيًا، وتمويلاً دوليًا؛ أما التعافي الاجتماعي والاقتصادي، فسيستغرق وقتاً أطول. حاليًا، لا يوجد فعليًا من ينتصر.

US Special Envoy to Sudan - Tom Perriello

3-10-2024

Tom Perello - US Special Envoy to Sudan

In Khartoum, El Fasher and elsewhere, fighting between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces continues to escalate tragically, killing civilians and destroying infrastructure. Armies and militias must abide by international humanitarian law regarding the protection of civilians and humanitarian access. Most importantly, this war must stop.

1-9-2024

Amina Mohammed - Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations

Samantha Power - Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development

In Sudan, the collapse of the Arbaat Dam destroyed homes, impacted livelihoods, and severely disrupted water supplies to Port Sudan. Initial reports indicate that tens of thousands may have been affected. USAID partners are assessing and responding to humanitarian needs.

12-8-2024

Tom Perello - US Special Envoy to Sudan

Thanks to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Switzerland, I am pleased to be in Geneva from Jeddah to launch this urgent international effort in Switzerland to end the crisis in Sudan. In addition to consultations with the parties, we have heard from tens of thousands of civilians inside and outside Sudan. Their message is clear: They want an end to the daily horror of bombing, starvation, and blockade, and the United States and our partners are committed to answering that call.

Adele Khodr - UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa

If there is no ceasefire and if we do not have safe access, it will be very difficult to deal with the multiple humanitarian crises that Sudan is facing, especially with regard to malnutrition among children.

22-7-2024

Sheikha Moza bint Nasser - Chairperson of Education Above All Foundation

Since the outbreak of war in Sudan, children have been without education. The number of children deprived of education due to the war has reached 19 million, or 90% of Sudanese children, which may make Sudan home to the worst educational crisis in the world. Classrooms that were once full of students have now become a shelter for the vulnerable, have been destroyed, or have been turned into military barracks.

7-19-2024

7-18-2024

Tom Perello - US Special Envoy to Sudan

I am dismayed by reports that more than 23 civilians were killed in a RSF attack in North Kordofan, Sudan. This senseless violence must end. Sudan is facing a horrific humanitarian displacement crisis. Both parties must agree to a ceasefire and stop further atrocities.

9-7-2024

How many dreams will be shattered among Sudanese children before this senseless war ends. At UNICEF Sudan, everyone is doing their best to provide psychosocial support and family reunification. But nothing is enough. Sudanese children need the war to stop!

1-7-2024

Kenneth Lavelle - Director of Operations at MSF

The Sudanese conflict has been neglected for too long. There are millions and tens of millions of people in need, and the lack of political and financial participation must be addressed. This cannot continue another day.

6-19-2024

Tom Perello - US Special Envoy to Sudan

I remain deeply moved by the strength of the people of Sudan. Local soup kitchens, run by volunteers, feed thousands every day despite the grave risks. Their courage saves lives and meets critical needs amid the world's largest humanitarian crisis.

6-22-2024

Mandip O'Brien - Director of UNICEF Sudan

For too long, 24 million children in Sudan have endured unimaginable suffering, their childhoods robbed by violence, displacement and deprivation. It's time to say no more. It's time for peace. Let's unite with the children of Sudan

6-17-2024

Tedros Adhanom - Director-General of the World Health Organization

Food insecurity and malnutrition are widespread in Sudan. In parts of Khartoum, Darfur and Kordofan states, people are still deprived of food and health assistance. The reality is that we need the world to wake up and stand up. Millions of lives depend on it.

6-15-2024

Tom Perello - US Special Envoy to Sudan

I extend my best wishes to the Sudanese people and Muslims around the world on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, and I hope that the spirit of this blessed season will motivate all warring parties in Sudan to silence the guns and commit to peaceful negotiations for the sake of the holy days and the future of the nation.

Samantha Power - Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development

The fighting in El Fasher is taking a heavy toll and threatening key infrastructure such as the Golo Water Reservoir – a major source of water for 270,000 Sudanese, half of whom are children. The RSF and SAF must return to negotiations and agree to a ceasefire.

Nabila Masrali - Official Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union

The European Union is appalled that the Rapid Support Forces and Janjaweed attacked and looted staff at the South El Fasher Hospital in Darfur, as they did to many other hospitals in Sudan. We remind the Rapid Support Forces once again of the need for restraint and respect for international humanitarian law.

9 -6 - 2024

Michael Dunford - Regional Director of the World Food Programme

The situation in Sudan is tragic by all standards. Due to conflict and lack of access to humanitarian aid, it has become extremely difficult to reach the people who need our support. We need the world's attention to be focused on Sudan.

1-6-2024

Martin Griffiths - UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs

Time is running out for the people of Sudan. 18 million people suffer from extreme hunger, and job opportunities are shrinking rapidly. If we are prevented from providing aid quickly and widely, more people will die.

5-29-2024

Tom Perello - US Special Envoy to Sudan

I have been encouraged by the sense of urgency expressed and the progress made towards talks in my meetings with civilians and regional partners in Uganda, Kenya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. In direct and digital meetings with hundreds of Sudanese civilians in and around Sudan, we continue to push our regional and global partners to urgently demand an end to this war, full humanitarian access, and a civilian transition owned by the people of Sudan.

5-26-2024

Toby Harward - Deputy UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Sudan

As humanitarians, we must remain optimistic that the parties will begin to listen to reason and logic and step back from the dire humanitarian crisis already affecting El Fasher and which could get much worse if the fighting continues.

5-26-2024

Justin Brady - Head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Sudan

Nowhere is this more evident today than in El Fasher, North Darfur. Civilians, many of them providing humanitarian aid, are facing the worst consequences that have plagued this country for more than a year. Sudan's war seems to have one base: the people. He will suffer!

5-25-2024

Fadlallah Barma Nasser - Acting Chairman of the National Umma Party

The founding conference of “Taqadum” comes at a delicate and dangerous stage and in light of a challenge that threatens the survival of Sudan as a single homeland. Every day the situation gets worse. The targeting of civilians increased, especially among women. The Sudanese reached a state of uncertainty and fear about the future, and accordingly; In this conference, it is necessary to respond to the pulse of the people who are tired of war, killing, displacement, and a life of asylum and displacement. He expressed his support for stopping the war. All his hope is for stability and a decent life.

5-24-2024

António Guterres - Secretary-General of the United Nations

Sudan's worsening humanitarian nightmare has entered its second year as hostilities intensify in El Fasher, opening a worrying new chapter in the conflict. We need a concerted global push for a ceasefire, followed by a comprehensive peace process to end the bloodshed.

5-22-2024

Robert Wood - Alternate United States Representative for Special Political Affairs

In Darfur, 20 years ago, the United Nations and the African Union came together to protect civilians through UNAMID. Now, Darfuris and other civilians across Sudan are facing horrific violence that once again requires the international community to consider what tools it can use to ensure the protection of civilians in Darfur today.
