The United Nations is pushing to gain access to al-Fashir, the famine-stricken city in Darfur where witnesses have reported mass reprisals since a takeover by Sudans Rapid Support Forces last month, UN aid chief Tom Fletcher said.
Fletcher told Reuters it would be a huge task to provide aid to the city, which would be treated as a crime scene for investigations following reports of systematic executions, detentions, and rapes.
Many of those thought to have remained in al-Fashir when the paramilitary RSF took control following a long siege are still unaccounted for.
