UN humanitarians said on Tuesday they are deeply concerned about the wellbeing of civilians caught up in heavy fighting in Al Fasher, the capital city of Sudan's North Darfur state.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) reports clashes displaced 130,000 people in and around Al Fasher in the past two months.
