November 25, 2025 Humanitarian aid
UN humanitarian agencies and their partners continue to provide assistance to people displaced from El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, but their needs far outstrip available resources.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports that more than 106,000 people have fled El Fasher and surrounding villages since the town was captured by the Rapid Intervention Forces a month ago.
UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher, who recently visited Tawila, emphasized the need to ensure unimpeded access for humanitarian organizations to civilians wherever they are. Tawila is a town 60 kilometers from El Fasher, where many displaced people arrive.
"Our humanitarian partners in the city report facing significant challenges in their work, including funding shortages and insecurity on key access routes," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at a briefing in New York.
“Our humanitarian colleagues report that medical facilities are overwhelmed and mobile clinics are struggling to cope with the growing number of patients with injuries, acute malnutrition and respiratory infections,” he added.
Dujarric also reported ongoing violence in other parts of Darfur. Doctors Without Borders announced today that for the second time this year, it had been forced to scale back its support operations at a hospital in Zalingei, Central Darfur, to ensure the safety of its staff.
A week ago, a Sudanese Ministry of Health employee was shot dead outside a hospital, and four other employees were wounded.
Military action continues to threaten civilians in the Kordofan region and force families to flee their homes. The IOM reports that more than 600 people fled two villages in South Kordofan state on Saturday.
“We reiterate our call for the protection of civilians across Sudan and for safe and unimpeded access for the delivery of vital aid, and we call on donors to increase funding to meet the growing needs in Darfur, Kordofan and other parts of Sudan,” Dujarric said.
