The United Nations is urgently pressing for access to Sudan’s embattled city of al-Fashir after alarming reports of atrocities and escalating violence, according to the UN’s top humanitarian official. Aid agencies warn that civilians trapped inside the city are facing extreme danger as clashes intensify between armed groups and government-aligned forces.
UN officials say humanitarian teams have been blocked from entering al-Fashir for weeks, making it nearly impossible to deliver food, medical supplies, or protection assistance. The aid chief emphasized that immediate access is essential to prevent further loss of life and to verify widespread claims of killings, forced displacement, and severe shortages of basic necessities.
