The top news of the day at the UN and around the world: humanitarian catastrophe and aid shortages in Sudan, escalating violence and political deadlock in South Sudan, fraud in the fish and seafood trade, pulses as part of the solution to malnutrition.
The situation in Sudan
Children in Sudan today live in conditions the world's largest humanitarian disaster, UN representatives warned on Tuesday. Amid intensifying fighting, they are receiving less and less aid. In some areas of Northern Darfur, more than half of children suffer from acute malnutrition. Across the country, nearly 34 million people—roughly two-thirds of the population—need humanitarian assistance. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) supports 25 therapeutic feeding programs and delivers supplies from Chad, but funding shortages are seriously hampering their work.
Escalating violence in South Sudan
Escalating violence, political deadlock and shrinking humanitarian aid capacity are driving South Sudan closer to a new full-scale conflictUN Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix warned Security Council members of this on Tuesday. He reported that clashes between government forces and the opposition have intensified in recent weeks, particularly in Jonglei State. Lacroix called on South Sudanese leaders to return to dialogue.
Fraud in the fishing sector
About 20 percent of global fisheries trade is result of fraudThis is a significantly higher figure than in the meat, fruit, and vegetable trade. Today, a huge variety of fish and seafood—over 12,000—can be found on store and market shelves, and scammers often exploit this to make easy money. For example, minced fish is sold as crab meat, dyes are added to tuna and salmon to make them look fresh, and cheaper fish is passed off as more expensive.
World Pulses Day
Around 700 million people worldwide face food shortages, and climate change threatens crops. Pulses could be part of the solution, according to the UN. Every year on February 10, the day is celebrated. World Pulses DayThese crops are drought-resistant, grow well in any soil, and are highly nutritious and healthy. They are available to millions of people around the world, and the protein they contain is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to livestock products.
