UN Demands Immediate End to Siege in Sudan’s El Fasher

Resolution calls for cease-fire and humanitarian access as El Fasher faces catastrophic conditions amid ongoing civil war.

The UN Security Council passed a resolution urging the Rapid Support Forces to end their siege of El Fasher, North Darfur's capital.
The resolution received near-unanimous support, with Russia abstaining, and emphasizes the protection of civilians and humanitarian aid access.
El Fasher is the last regional capital under government control, with over a million people trapped and facing severe shortages of essentials.
The conflict has led to widespread violence, with credible reports of ethnically motivated attacks and atrocities by the RSF.
International bodies warn of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe, including potential famine and large-scale massacres.
