As the conflict between the army and paramilitary groups in Sudan enters its fourth year, “the world has failed to meet the test of Sudan”, United Nations aid chief Tom Fletcher said on Tuesday. The civil war has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced more than 11 million.

"In the first three months of this year, nearly 700 civilians were reportedly killed in drone strikes," Fletcher said in a statement, adding that three years of civil war had created the "world's largest humanitarian crisis".
