From Gaza to El Fasher, genocide wears different faces but is the same in horror. Both regions face systematic atrocities—murder, torture, rape, displacement, and ethnic cleansing—perpetrated either by Israeli forces in Gaza or rival warlords in Sudan. While contexts differ, the victims’ suffering is universal, and the brutality transcends nationality, religion, or ethnicity. Humanitarian concern should be consistent, condemning all acts of extermination and arbitrary violence wherever they occur.

Avoiding a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza depends on empowering the UN to lead aid efforts and applying firm US and international pressure on Israel to allow relief access. Despite the October 8 ceasefire promising 600 aid trucks daily, Israel’s restrictions and delays have left Gaza on the brink of famine. Experts say only unhindered UN-led coordination, backed by US enforcement and global cooperation, can ensure life-saving aid reaches civilians and sustain the fragile truce.
