UN Sounds 'Red Alert' Over Unfolding Humanitarian Catastrophe in Sudan's El-Obeid

The UN Human Rights Chief, Volker Turk, has issued a 'red alert' regarding a deepening humanitarian catastrophe in El-Obeid, Sudan, fearing an imminent paramilitary assault. Civilians in the city have endured siege-like conditions for 18 months, facing relentless drone strikes and critical shortages of clean water, food, and medical supplies as the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces battle for control.
