Since the beginning of the brutal military showdown in Sudan, 18 aid workers have been killed, while the impact of the war on civilians has been exacerbated by the climate crisis, and major food insecurity.

Humanitarians are having to work under extreme conditions to support refugees and Sudanese civilians, providing often life-saving support. 

Just ahead of World Humanitarian Day, UN News’s Abdelmonem Makki spoke to Mathilde Vu - who’s waiting for a visa to return to Sudan - Advocacy Manager with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), which has lost two of its own workers to the violence.
