The civil war in Sudan has created the “worst humanitarian crisis in the world”, the African Union has warned.

The conflict between the Sudanese military government and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is hampering the delivery of aid to a population suffering attacks and the threat of famine, officials said on Tuesday at a panel on the crisis.
