Yet again the grim title of \u201cworld\u2019s greatest humanitarian crisis\u201d\u009d goes to Sudan \u201d\u201c this time for developments in the border regions between Sudan and the newly independent country of South Sudan. The crisis is exploding as the rainy season descends fully upon this area, and humanitarian resources are overwhelmed.<\/p>\n
Khartoum\u2019s denial of all humanitarian access to rebel-controlled areas within its border, along with a relentless campaign of aerial bombardment, is generating a continuous flow of tens of thousands of refugees \u201d\u201c up to 4,000 per day according to Doctors Without Borders\/M\u00c3\u00a9decins Sans Fronti\u00c3\u00a8res (MSF). But even that June figure is being quickly overtaken, according to reports.<\/p>\n
And no wonder. The regime faces no significant international condemnation or consequences for its role in creating this crisis. That must change.<\/p>\n
