## Prediction

Within seven days, access to humanitarian aid in parts of Ukraine (especially Kherson and frontline zones), Gaza, and Sudan’s Darfur region will further deteriorate due to intensified targeting of aid convoys, bureaucratic impediments, and persistent insecurity. The Russian FPV strikes on UN vehicles will prompt temporary pauses or rerouting of some operations, slowing delivery times. In Nyala, Sudan, repeated Sudanese army airstrikes on the hub will hamper logistics for displaced populations in South Darfur. Contrarian outcome: an unexpected localized ceasefire or humanitarian corridor agreement in any of these theaters could temporarily improve aid access.

## Drivers

- Russian drones hitting UN aid vehicles in Kherson region
- Sudanese army airstrikes on Nyala hub in South Darfur
- Ongoing Israeli strikes in Gaza City and broader constraints on access
- Global trend of shrinking humanitarian space in active conflict zones
