official said.

In a statement issued on Friday, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Martin Griffiths said intense fighting that has ravaged in Khartoum and Darfur since mid-April has spread to Kordofan.

"In South Kordofan’s capital, Kadugli, food stocks have been fully depleted, as festivities and road blockages prevent aid workers from reaching the hungry," he said.

In West Kordofan’s capital, El Fula, humanitarian offices have been ransacked and supplies looted, according to the top UN official.

"I am also extremely worried about the safety of civilians in Al Jazira State, as the conflict moves closer to Sudan’s breadbasket," he explained.
