The UN's human rights chief calls for urgent action to stop heavy fighting that has already led to a massive humanitarian crisis in Sudan, with El-Obeid facing relentless drone attacks and atrocity crimes against civilians.

Why it matters

This story highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Sudan and the need for international intervention to prevent further atrocities and provide aid to affected populations.

The UN says bad people are attacking a city in Sudan with drones and hurting lots of people. They want leaders from other countries to help stop it.

Analysis

{"# A $60B Vote of Confidence":-1.3,"The UN's warning follows previous atrocities against civilians including in El Fasher last October, where 6,000 people were killed in a three-day rampage of war crimes and crimes against humanity, according to his Office. The High Commissioner’s call for accountability and the continued engagement of the ICC on seeking justice for Sudan’s war victims is crucial to holding perpetrators responsible and ensuring lasting peace. El Obeid has more than half a million residents, together with at least 100,000 internally displaced persons – many of whom fled El Fasher in North Darfur and other devastated Sudanese cities. The UN's call for the Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities to prevent atrocity crimes is essential to addressing the root causes of conflict and ensuring that such atrocities do not occur again. The veteran humanitarian stressed that aid access is needed urgently to residents who’ve remained out of reach for two months, with civilians continuing to be the main targets in this conflict. The aim of this strategy ":-1.3,"The El Fasher outrage was not a one-time incident, but part of a long-term trend in Sudan which the international community had failed to stop. The veteran humanitarian stressed that aid access is needed urgently to residents who've remained out of reach for two months, with civilians continuing to be the main targets in this conflict.
