The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that thousands of families displaced from El Pasha in North Darfur state are living in a "dire humanitarian situation" without adequate food, clean water, shelter or medical care.

Humanitarian organizations are working with local partners to establish new camps to accommodate recent arrivals from Al‑Fashir, OCHA said, adding to more than 650,000 displaced people who have already sought refuge in Tawela. Conditions reported include shortages of food, potable water and medical services for newly displaced families.

"The office where the coordination of humanitarian affairs warns of a dire humanitarian situation for thousands of families displaced from El Pasha in North Darfur state following recent violence," an OCHA spokesperson said. The spokesperson said displaced people across Tawela and surrounding areas are living in extremely harsh conditions.

A UN official said their office recently met with the resident coordinator for Sudan to share information and assess next steps. The official said the main focus is on "accountability, justice, and the kind of mechanisms that should be established, whether they are extraordinary chambers or whether it's transitional justice or whether it's hybrid courts," and added that Sudanese civil society has called for measures to "arrest impunity that is at the heart of atrocities that are being committed in that form."

No formal international judicial mechanism was announced at the briefing. Humanitarian staff described immediate priorities as shelter, food, water and medical care for newly displaced families while discussions continue about longer‑term protection and accountability measures.

Agencies and partners involved in relief operations, and the resident coordinator's office, were described as coordinating assessments and camp planning. Details on funding, timelines for camp openings and which agencies would lead camp management were not specified.
