- The Rapid Support Forces accepted a U.S.-led humanitarian truce proposed by the Quad on Thursday, following its seizure of el-Fasher city over a week earlier.
- Amid a war that began in April 2023, more than 14 million people have been displaced and the World Health Organization reports at least 40,000 deaths, while over 24 million face acute food insecurity.

- Humanitarian groups report escalating atrocities and displacement, including over 450 killed at a hospital and more than 70,000 fleeing el-Fasher in one week to Al-Affad camp, while 83% of families lack enough food.
