On the 20th local time, UN Secretary General Spokesman Dijalik said that as the conflict continues to escalate and the humanitarian crisis in the Sudan worsens, nearly 400,000 displaced people in the Shekan, Bala and Sibala regions of Northern Kordofan are facing an “urgent” state of food insecurity. On the same day, Dijalik quoted the World Food Programme's assessment results as saying that the humanitarian situation in the city of Obaid, the capital of North Kordofan State, is rapidly deteriorating. The ongoing armed conflict and the forced migration of large numbers of people to El Obeid have put tremendous pressure on local resources, and hundreds of thousands of people are facing food shortages.
