Overview

  • The Berlin conference, which convened Wednesday, drew more than €1.3 billion in humanitarian promises after organizers sought to top an earlier $1 billion raised in London.
  • No truce emerged from the meeting, as UN chief António Guterres urged an immediate halt to fighting and a US envoy pressed the warring sides to accept a three‑month humanitarian pause.
  • The United Nations Development Programme said about 70% of Sudanese now live in poverty, up from roughly 38% before the war that began in April 2023.
  • UN agencies report over 21 million people face acute hunger, with famine declared in El‑Fasher and Kadugli and nearly 700 civilians killed by drone strikes since January in South Kordofan and Blue Nile.
  • Khartoum shows fragile signs of recovery with about 1.7 million people returning, markets and some schools reopening, and teams working to clear large numbers of unexploded bombs.
