The United Kingdom has pledged £5 million in aid to Sudan following the capture of El Fasher, the last major city in Darfur, by the Rapid Support Forces. The fall of the city has led to reports of ethnically-targeted killings, sexual violence, and widespread starvation, with around 260,000 people, half of them children, now trapped. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned the atrocities and highlighted the severe impact on women and children, describing the situation as the largest humanitarian crisis of the century. The new aid package will provide emergency food, medical care, and support for survivors of sexual violence, while Cooper and other international leaders called for an immediate ceasefire in Darfur.
