The situation is particularly alarming where the conflict is most intense -- in Khartoum and the Darfur and Kordofan regions, said Edem Wosornu, director of operations and advocacy in the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
"Reports of ethnic-based violence in West Darfur are extremely alarming, with numerous civilians killed or wounded," she told the Security Council in a briefing on behalf of Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths.
"The intense fighting and difficult operating environment are constraining our ability to deliver urgent humanitarian assistance, which is only deepening the suffering of people there," she said.
