UN Humanitarian Chief Urges Global Action to Halt Sudan Violence Amidst Humanitarian Crisis
Tom Fletcher, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, has called for urgent global intervention to address the escalating violence in Sudan, particularly in the Darfur region. During his recent visit to Darfur, Fletcher described the area as the 'epicenter of suffering in the world right now,' highlighting the dire conditions faced by civilians, including starvation, displacement, and violence. The United Nations estimates that around 200,000 civilians were trapped in the city of el-Fasher when it was captured by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) after an 18-month siege. Satellite imagery suggests the presence of mass graves, raising fears of genocide. Fletcher criticized the lack of international attention and action, urging the United Nations Security Council and world leaders to intervene and stop the violence.
