> The United Nations warns that Sudan may be heading toward another human rights catastrophe. As fighting intensifies, hundreds of thousands of people in El-Obeid have been cut off from food, water and medical supplies. The warning follows the UN’s earlier assessment that the siege of El-Fasher showed signs of genocide. El-Obeid is rapidly emerging as a new focal point and key battleground in Sudan’s civil war.
