No aid deliveries possible under conditions: UN envoy

The United Nations' envoy to Sudan has said that under the current conditions in the country, no aid deliveries are possible, but the UN will continue working on achieving humanitarian pauses in the fighting.

He said if the UN is able to achieve those pauses, it will further work on establishing a ceasefire, but noted that none of the parties seemed interested in halting the fighting just yet.

The envoy added that while he cannot assess who has the upper hand in the fighting, the leaders of the warring parties have been reacting “positively” to his phone calls.
