El Obeid is on the precipice of an atrocity. Civilians must be protected and allowed to leave safely. We call on the RSF to halt its assault and on all parties to uphold international humanitarian law, ensure humanitarian access, and prevent further bloodshed.

The scale of grave violations and abuses against children is shocking. The UK remains steadfast in its support for the UN Children and Armed Conflict mandate and calls on all parties to engage with the UN to end grave violations, safeguard education, and prevent sexual violence.

The world's progress on tackling HIV is a human story of hope. HIV deaths have reduced by 74% since their peak in 2004. Each number representing lives and futures. The UK will continue working across the UN to prevent infections and end AIDS, including among women and girls.
