Sudan is facing Critical Shortages and a humanitarian crisis as the conflict between rival generals enters its third month. The regular army has accused paramilitaries of "abducting and murdering" a governor in Darfur, and for the first time, planes bombed a southern town. The war between the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has claimed more than 1,800 lives and displaced over 2.2 million people. Civilians who have not fled have "no food, water or medicine left". Saudi Arabia has announced an aid conference on June 19, and the UN has warned of "crimes against humanity" in Darfur.
