The city of El Obeid, located in South Sudan, is facing a catastrophic humanitarian situation as it is besieged by paramilitaries fighting government forces. The United Nations Human Rights Council ordered an urgent investigation on July 6 in the face of the risk of a new massacre. Bombings and drone attacks have intensified, targeting vital infrastructure such as gas stations, which are essential for electricity and water. According to the UN, approximately one million people are trapped, unable to flee due to exorbitant transport costs and attacks on vehicles. Tension is extreme, with hospitals struggling and food prices rising in local markets, while humanitarian funding decreases.
