Sudan's Relentless Fighting Escalates in Darfur, UN Warns of Humanitarian Crisis

The UN calls for a humanitarian pause as famine and violence devastate El Fasher and surrounding regions.

Sudan has been engulfed in conflict since April 2023, with over 14,000 deaths and 33,000 injuries reported.
Famine has struck Zamzam camp near El Fasher, affecting 500,000 displaced people and causing severe malnutrition among children.
UN humanitarian chief Joyce Msuya urges both sides to halt attacks on civilians and allow unimpeded delivery of aid.
The International Criminal Court suggests both sides may be committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur.
The UN emphasizes the urgent need for de-escalation and humanitarian access to prevent a dramatic spike in mortality.
