Pope Calls for Humanitarian Corridors in Sudan

Pope Leo XIV called Sunday for humanitarian corridors to be opened for civilians caught up in a conflict in Sudan which has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions. Leo said he was following "with concern the tragic situation in Sudan, especially in the city of El-Obeid", the largest city in the southern Kordofan region, which has come under intense drone attacks in recent weeks, reported AFP. The attacks have prompted the UN to issue a "red alert" over what it described as an unfolding catastrophe.
