The European Commission for Humanitarian Aid condemned the atrocities unfolding in al-Fashir, denouncing them as violations of international law and expressing deep concern over the mass displacement caused by Sudan’s worsening humanitarian crisis. The commission called for a permanent ceasefire.
Eva Herncirova, spokesperson for the Commission, said al-Fashir is facing severe famine and has “become a graveyard for humanity.”
Speaking to Cairo News, she said Sudan is witnessing a profound tragedy marked by hospital bombings, blocked aid routes and civilian killings. She confirmed that the Commission is working closely with international partners—especially Egypt—to address the crisis, announcing €273 million in emergency humanitarian assistance for Sudan.
Herncirova said efforts are underway with partners and civil society groups to support the people of al-Fashir, urging all warring parties to return to negotiations. She noted that Sudan is “bleeding from the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophe,” stressing that the country’s needs exceed traditional humanitarian support.
She also condemned the use of starvation as a weapon of war, revealing that some 90,000 people have been displaced in al-Fashir and surrounding areas, with many struggling to access aid.
