UNITED NATIONS: UN humanitarians said that they join with their partners in Sudan to warn of escalating violence in besieged El Fasher and to condemn attacks on civilians.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Tuesday that the world body and its Sudan aid partners issued a statement condemning in the strongest terms reported attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against civilians, civilian infrastructure and humanitarian workers in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state.

"We are horrified by credible reports of widespread violations, including summary executions, attacks on civilians along escape routes, house-to-house raids and obstacles preventing civilians from reaching safety, " the statement said.
