Situation in #AlFasher is reaching new levels of horror & hopelessness. Fighting is escalating today. Countless civilians are trapped, bombed, starved. Food is missing & prices are spiralling. Leaving or staying is a terrible gamble. In both cases, civilians risk dying doing so.

Shocked by the attack on El Fasher & Abu Shouk camp. Targeting civilians & places of refuge is a grave breach of IHL. Humanitarian access must be granted. I support Tom Fletcher & int. organizations Forum’s urgent calls. Looking ahead to discussions on #Sudan at #UNGA.
