UK 'ignored Sudan warnings' as MPs told of heartbroken families who lost 10 loved ones

Foreign Office officials ignored dire warnings about impending war in Sudan in the weeks before the unfolding tragedy, MPs have been told.

Just 10 days before the outbreak of violence - which has seen more than 2.2 million people forced from their homes - officials said they were "cautiously optimistic" fighting wouldn't break out, it is claimed.

And a charity chief said she's met people who have lost 10 family members in the brutal conflict, which has claimed at least 3,000 lives - but the real death toll is believed to be much higher.
