More than 3,000 humanitarian organizations operating in Sudan have completely ceased working since the current civil war broke out in mid-April, official SUNA news agency cited Sudan's Humanitarian Aid Commission as saying on Friday.
"These include around 2,900 national organizations, 110 foreign organizations and more than 10 UN humanitarian agencies and regional organizations," said the commission, pointing to the war's negative impact on the humanitarian situation in the country.
It indicated that 85 percent of international aid workers had left Sudan due to growing risks.
On Thursday, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement that social instability, poor communications network, staff shortfall, and bureaucratic impediments have been affecting the delivery of humanitarian assistance in many parts of Sudan.
Sudan has been witnessing deadly clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Khartoum and other areas since April 15.
More than 12,000 people have been killed so far in the clashes, while 6.6 million others have been displaced inside and outside Sudan, according to the OCHA.
