Ex-UN official warns: El Obeid crisis could be worse than El Fasher
Former UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan Mukesh Kapila warns that the crisis in El Obeid may become even more severe than the already dire situation in El Fasher.
Mukesh Kapila, a former United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, has issued a stark warning that the humanitarian crisis in El Obeid could surpass the severity of the crisis in El Fasher.
Kapila, who previously led UN humanitarian operations in the region, stated that the situation in El Obeid is rapidly deteriorating and may eclipse the already catastrophic conditions in El Fasher. He did not provide specific details on casualties or the exact nature of the crisis, but his remarks highlight the urgent need for international attention.
El Obeid, a city in central Sudan, has been experiencing severe conflict and food shortages. Meanwhile, El Fasher in the Darfur region has long been one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises. Kapila's warning underscores the escalating scale of suffering in Sudan.
