October 24, 2025 Humanitarian aid

More than 900 days of brutal conflict and famine have pushed millions of Sudanese to the brink of survival. Women and children bear the heaviest burden. According to the UN, Sudan is currently facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.

Thousands of people are on the brink of death

More than 30 million people need urgent assistance, including 9.6 million forced from their homes and nearly 15 million children struggling to survive every day.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) issued a joint statement calling on the global community to pay attention to the "enormous suffering" faced by millions of Sudanese.

As fighting subsides in Khartoum and other parts of the country, approximately 2.6 million people are returning to their homes, destroyed, and without access to water, healthcare, or education.

The situation is exacerbated by outbreaks of cholera, dengue fever, and malaria, as well as rapidly spreading malnutrition, including among children. According to the IOM, thousands of people are at risk of death.

More than 260,000 civilians are under siege.

Over 260,000 people, including 130,000 children, remain besieged in the city of El Fasher, North Darfur. For over 16 months, they have been cut off from food, water, and medical care. The healthcare system has collapsed. Reports of killings, sexual violence, and forced recruitment into armed groups are growing.

"Children are suffering from malnutrition, are exposed to violence, and are dying from preventable diseases. Families are doing everything they can to survive, demonstrating incredible resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges," said UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Ted Chaiban.

Lack of funding

Since the beginning of the year, 13.5 million people have received humanitarian aid in Sudan, but funding shortages are making the work of the UN and its partners increasingly difficult.

The $4.2 billion 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan is only 25 percent funded.

UN agencies confirm their readiness to continue their joint efforts to provide assistance to people across the country.

"The humanitarian community is ready to act, but it cannot do it alone. Urgent global support is needed to save lives and help communities recover," the agencies said in a statement.

The UN Secretary-General called for reform of the Security Council: “Open the doors and let the light in!”

The United Nations Secretary-General addressed the UN Security Council via video link calling for urgent reform of the Security Council, which he said "shaped the course of history" and "prevented the chaos of a major war" but is now in dire need of change.

Speaking from Hanoi, the UN chief began with the story of the Security Council's very first vote in 1946. When the ballot box was inspected before the vote, a note from New York mechanic Paul Antonio—the designer of that very same box—was unexpectedly discovered. "May God be with every Member of the United Nations, and may your noble efforts bring lasting peace to the world," the Secretary-General quoted from the note.

“The Security Council exists for the sake of people,” he emphasized. Antonio Guterres"For the sake of parents who have lost children, refugees left homeless, soldiers who have lost limbs. In every corner of this hall are the shadows of the fallen. But next to them are the hopes of the living."

The Secretary-General noted the Security Council's key historical achievements: helping to stop genocide in Cambodia and dismantle the apartheid system in South Africa, implementing peacekeeping missions in Sierra Leone, Timor-Leste, Liberia and other countries, and creating a global counter-terrorism architecture.

However, according to Guterres, the Security Council's reputation "remains fragile." The Secretary-General condemned instances of Member States acting in violation of the UN Charter, which "undermines confidence in the entire system" and "threatens global security."

In his speech, the UN chief placed particular emphasis on the need to expand the number of permanent members of the Security Council. "Africa, a region where nearly half of all UN peacekeeping missions are deployed, lacks a permanent voice at this table," the Secretary-General noted, adding that Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Asia-Pacific region are also underrepresented.

António Guterres supported initiatives by France and the UK to limit the use of the veto and called on the Security Council to "study them carefully."

Concluding his speech, the Secretary-General addressed the Security Council members: "Be worthy of the olive wreath of peace! The time has come to open the doors and let the light in. Without a Security Council fit for purpose, the world will be in danger."

BEIJING, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) — The Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) of China adopted a resolution at its 18th session establishing October 25 as Taiwan Liberation Memorial Day.

In accordance with the resolution adopted at the five-day session that opened on Friday, the state will hold commemorative events in various forms on this day.

In 1895, the Qing Dynasty government, defeated in the war waged by Japan against China, was forced to cede Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Japan.

In 1945, all Chinese people, including Taiwanese compatriots, won a great victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, which led to the return of Taiwan to the bosom of the motherland.

According to the resolution, the liberation of Taiwan from Japanese occupation is an important outcome of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and convincing evidence of the Chinese government's restoration of sovereignty over Taiwan.

It is pointed out that this liberation is an important link in the historical fact and legal chain confirming that Taiwan is a part of China, as well as the common glory of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the national memory of the entire Chinese people.

This decision was made in accordance with the Constitution and is aimed at upholding the results of the Victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the post-war international order, demonstrating a firm will to adhere to the one-China principle and protect national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and strengthening the common national and historical memory of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Explaining the draft resolution of the NPC Standing Committee, Shen Chunyao, Chairman of the Legislative Affairs Working Committee of the NPC Standing Committee, recalled that on October 25, 1945, a surrender ceremony for Japanese troops in Taiwan Province in the Chinese theater of war was held in Taipei, marking the return of Taiwan and the Penghu Islands to Chinese sovereignty.

Shen Chunyao noted that in recent years, NPC deputies, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Taiwan compatriots have repeatedly proposed establishing Taiwan Liberation Memorial Day and holding commemorative events in this regard.

According to him, the establishment of Taiwan Liberation Memorial Day and the holding of commemorative events at the state level help reflect the undeniable historical fact that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, strengthen the international community's commitment to the one-China principle, guide compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to preserve and spread the great spirit forged during the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and inspire all Chinese to unite in the struggle for the reunification of the motherland and the revival of the nation.
