The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned today (Tuesday) of a famine in the city of Dalanj, South Kordofan State, due to the “Rapid Support Forces” (RSF) targeting relief convoys.
The office stated in a report that humanitarian needs in the cities of Kadugli and Dalanj in South Kordofan have reached “catastrophic levels.”
The UN renewed its call for the protection of civilians and infrastructure, while also calling on the parties to the conflict to adhere to their obligations under international humanitarian law.
Combat operations between the Sudanese Army and the Rapid Support Forces have escalated significantly over the past 24 hours in South Kordofan.
