Daniel O’Malley, Head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) delegation in Sudan, described the situation in El Fasher as a humanitarian catastrophe.
He noted that more than 260,000 men, women, and children are trapped in the city, surviving on only one meal a day and risking their lives just to find water — even if it is unsafe to drink.
O’Malley explained that civilians in Kordofan have been living in a state of continuous displacement, under constant stress and pressure, due to shifting and unstable frontlines.
He added, “This situation cannot continue. The people of El Fasher and Kordofan — and the people of Sudan as a whole — must not be abandoned or ignored.”
