The humanitarian crisis in Sudan’s Darfur region, particularly around El Fasher, has worsened severely, marked by accelerating mass displacement and dire aid restrictions. Independent human rights experts voiced alarm over reports of trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation, primarily since the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took control of El Fasher. Renewed fighting in the Kordofan region is also driving large-scale displacement, pushing the total number of forcibly displaced people across Sudan to nearly 12 million. The UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy is preparing to travel to the region to press for renewed political dialogue and unhindered humanitarian access.
