Humanitarian workers must be allowed to reach people in urgent need across Sudan.

Civilians must never be targeted. Aid convoys must never be blocked.

Brutal violence in El Fasher, Sudan, has forced thousands of people to flee, leaving many trapped and facing serious protection risks.

When people are forced to flee, we protect them.
