The UN’s Director of Operations for the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Edem Wosornu, stressed the urgent need for a sufficient ceasefire to allow UN teams to address the dire situation in the city.
Wosornu said the United Nations had secured guarantees from the Sudanese army to allow humanitarian aid into El Fasher, but was still awaiting approval from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to proceed with the operation.
She warned that conditions in El Fasher had become “catastrophic,” describing it as a “ghost town” as a result of the ongoing war, according to Al Arabiya TV.
