Shafaq News – Port Sudan
UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher held talks in Port Sudan on Tuesday with army leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan to secure access for life-saving aid across Sudan, where millions face famine and displacement.
In a video released by Sudan News Agency, Fletcher described the discussions as “constructive,” emphasizing the need to deliver assistance “in a neutral, independent and impartial way” to civilians trapped by the conflict between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Although the RSF said it accepted a truce proposal backed by the United States, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt, clashes have persisted.
