<p>The UK uses its position as penholder at the UN Security Council on Sudan to increase
pressure on the warring parties. On 8 March, the UNSC adopted UK-drafted Resolution
2724 calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and unhindered humanitarian
access. On 27 February, we called for the Council to convene for a closed consultation
responding to SAF withdrawing permission for the movement of aid into Sudan from the
Adre border crossing. On 20 March, we also highlighted the OCHA White Note's clear
warning that obstruction of humanitarian access is resulting in people in Sudan starving.
On 19 April, the UK also called for an open briefing on the situation to mark the
one-year point in the conflict at the UNSC.</p>
