Sudan on Saturday denounced a statement by the U.S. State Department accusing the Sudanese authorities of obstructing people's access to humanitarian aid.

In a statement, Sudan's Foreign Ministry said the U.S. allegations against the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Government of Sudan relating to humanitarian aid and civilian activities are "false accusations."

On Thursday, the U.S condemned the obstruction of humanitarian aid access in Sudan, calling on the SAF and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to immediately allow unhindered humanitarian assistance deliveries to all parts of Sudan.
