"In light of the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Sudan," spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement, Guterres is sending Martin Griffiths, the UN emergency relief coordinator, "to the region immediately."

"The scale and speed of what is unfolding is unprecedented in Sudan," the statement said. "We are extremely concerned."
