UN Highlights Dire Conditions for Women in Sudan's El Obeid Amid Conflict

UN Women has issued a stark warning about the severe crisis in El Obeid, Sudan, where women and girls face extreme dangers, including drone strikes and sexual violence, while attempting to access water. The conflict has led to a quadrupling of gender-based violence service needs, alongside widespread cholera, malnutrition, and limited access to essential resources. Funding cuts have further exacerbated the situation, forcing many vital women-led organizations to cease or reduce operations.
