The humanitarian crisis in Sudan is deepening as fighting, displacement and health emergencies fuel needs, the world body warned Tuesday.



In North Darfur state, artillery shelling continues to affect residential areas of El Fasher city and the Abu Shouk camp for internally displaced people. Daily civilian casualties are reported, and recent days have seen an intensification of nighttime bombardments, said the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).



Humanitarian partners on the ground report that access to education remains severely constrained in North Darfur. Since the conflict began in April 2023, a quarter of a million children have lost access to learning, said OCHA.
