The United Nations said on Wednesday that it has successfully secured an additional $20 million for the growing humanitarian needs in Sudan.

In a tweet, the UN relief coordinator, Martin Griffiths, said: "As humanitarian needs soar in Sudan with critically low funding, I’ve approved an additional $20M from UNCERF (the UN emergency response fund)."

Griffiths added that a total of $60 million of UN emergency funds has been allocated to Sudan this year.

"Civilians need life-saving assistance now; humanitarians need access and funding to deliver it," he also affirmed.
