The UN said about 730,000 children in Sudan, including more than 240,000 in Darfur, are believed to be suffering from severe acute malnutrition
About eight million people have been displaced by the war, which has destroyed the nation’s infrastructure
Many are stuck in tented camps like this one in Gadaref. The UN said 18 million of Sudan's 48 million people are acutely food insecure, five million of whom have reached the last level before famine
The Security Council this month called for an immediate ceasefire during Ramadan and better access to humanitarian aid
'Since then, I regret to report that there has not been major progress on the ground,' said Edem Wosornu, a UN director of humanitarian operations
Meanwhile, heavy fighting continues in what has become a war of attrition
But much suffering prevails among the internally displaced
Relief operations are 'severely hampered' by a lack of access and resources, the UN said
