Devastating updates from El Fasher via @HRL_YaleSPH: civilians trapped, markets, schools & places of worship bombed. No safe exit routes. We urgently need a pause to get aid in and allow people out. 🔗
‼️ @HRL_YaleSPH confirms there is no exit from El Fasher 🇸🇩 that RSF does not control. Civilians trying to leave must reportedly pay bribes, are robbed, and may be assaulted or killed. The last 'famine foods’ - animal feed - appear to be running out.

Our Head of Office for OPT, @_jwhittall, on his experience in Gaza and West Bank.👇.
#Gaza has been held underwater for 22 months, allowed to gasp for air only when Israeli authorities face pressure from those with more leverage than international law itself. Starvation isn’t a logistical failure. It’s a political choice. My opinion piece:

Alarming reports from @WFP confirm the risk of starvation in North Darfur's El Fasher is growing fast. We continue to push for a humanitarian pause to rush aid in at scale – and for the return of a full UN presence. Time is running out.

Release all hostages immediately and unconditionally. ⬇️.
We are appalled by the recent videos published of Israeli hostages held in Gaza. We have said from day one, and we reiterate, that all hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally. All forms of public exposure that humiliate persons deprived of liberty and endanger

Another alarm call. We need to get masses of food in, through all crossings, urgently. We have a plan, and the world is demanding we be allowed to do our work.
According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Alert, 2 out of the 3 famine thresholds have now been breached in parts of #Gaza. 🔴Food consumption has plummeted. 🔴Acute malnutrition has risen, with malnutrition levels among children under five
