    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 UN plays a pivotal role in tackling global problems which shape lives in the UK and all over the world. Good to welcome @antonioguterres to London to discuss the situation in the Middle East and Sudan, and reaffirm the UK’s commitment to the UN and its core principles.

    We welcome @IMOHQ's announcement to establish an evacuation plan in the Strait of Hormuz. This is a vital humanitarian step that will allow thousands of trapped seafarers to leave safely. We stand ready to support the UN in playing this crucial role.

    Keir Starmer led the Labour Party from one of our worst defeats in history in 2019 to one of our most decisive election victories five years later. All the things this Labour Government has done and will do in the future to build a fairer, stronger country are only possible

    I am deeply alarmed by the immediate and escalating risk of new atrocities in Sudan. We have pushed the UN Security Council to agree unanimously that the RSF assault on El Obeid must stop, that civilians must be protected, and that there will be no impunity for the perpetrators

    The @UN Security Council has expressed alarm at the risk of an imminent military offensive by the RSF on El Obeid. The Council demands the RSF immediately halt its assault. All parties must protect civilians and comply with their obligations under international law.

    Calling for "all of Lebanon to burn" is a horrendous and abhorrent statement from an Israeli Minister who has rightly been sanctioned by the UK Government. We call on both Israel and Hizballah to comply with the agreed ceasefire, and ensure that all civilians are protected.

    On the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, the UK stands with all the women and girls targeted as a weapon of war. This is a global crisis, and that is why the UK is working in coalition with countries around the world to end it.

    Reports of an imminent major offensive on El Obeid Sudan are incredibly alarming. The RSF must pull back immediately. All parties must urgently de-escalate, allow civilians to leave safely, and let aid in. Too many lives have been lost in Sudan. This offensive must stop now
