The UN Security Council is urging a ceasefire in Sudan during Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims. This ceasefire would allow aid to reach millions of people in desperate need of food. Fighting in Sudan has displaced millions and crippled the economy. The UN says half the country’s population needs aid, with millions facing potential famine.

The resolution passed by the Security Council calls for all parties in the conflict to stop fighting immediately. It also urges them to allow aid workers to deliver supplies freely. The UN Secretary-General warned that the conflict threatens Sudan’s stability and could cause problems in neighboring countries.

There are some challenges to the ceasefire. Sudan’s government has set conditions for it, and Russia criticized the UN for not calling for a ceasefire in another conflict. However, the UN aid chief says improved access to deliver aid is crucial regardless of a ceasefire. With millions facing hunger, the UN is urging the world to pay attention to the crisis in Sudan.
