00:00The UN Humanitarian Chief, Tom Fletcher, who has just visited the area, has described it as the epicentre of suffering in the world, and he is right.
00:09Over 30 million people need life-saving aid. 12 million have been forced from their homes.
00:16Famine is spreading, cholera and preventable disease are rampant, and in L-fascia.
00:21Following the advances by the RSF, horrifying scenes of atrocities with mass executions, starvation and the systematic use of rape as a weapon of war.
00:34Horrors so appalling that they can be seen from space.
00:39As UN OCHA have put it, L-fascia is a crime scene.
00:44There are satellite pictures showing discolouration of sand consistent with pools of blood.
00:48Multiple clusters of objects consistent with piles of human bodies, and the apparent burning of bodies and operations to dispose of bodies in mass graves.
01:00Further horrors will yet unfold unless greater action is taken.
