UN Security Council to Brief on Sudan Amid Escalating Violence in El Obeid

The UN Security Council is scheduled to hold an open briefing and closed consultations on Sudan, addressing the deteriorating security situation, particularly in El Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan state. Intensified hostilities and drone strikes around the city raise concerns that a potential ground offensive could endanger over 500,000 civilians and further disrupt humanitarian access to the Kordofan and Darfur regions.
