MSF warns of growing malnutrition crisis in Sudan's El Fasher

Severe and widespread flooding is sweeping across parts of Southeast and South Asia, disrupting the lives of millions from Indonesia and Malaysia to Sri Lanka and Viet Nam.

Entire communities have been displaced, critical infrastructure has been damaged, and humanitarian needs are rising sharply as the region grapples with days of relentless rain and the devastating impact of Cyclone Ditwah in Sri Lanka.

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has moved quickly to scale up emergency support-providing evacuations, First Aid, clean water, temporary shelter, and essential relief supplies.

With us from Kuala Lumpur is Alice Ho, Acting Deputy Regional Director of the IFRC's Asia Pacific Regional Office, to help us understand the situation on the ground, the scale of the response, and what more is needed....

Kenya's parliamentary inquiry into the British Army Training Unit in Kenya - BATUK - has brought renewed attention to long-standing allegations of environmental damage, misconduct, and harm suffered by local communities.

Rights groups say the hearings could be a turning point in holding foreign military actors accountable on Kenyan soil.

To help us unpack the latest developments and what this inquiry could mean going forward, joining in from Kenya is human-rights lawyer Kelvin Kubai, who has been closely involved in supporting affected families.

Kenya probes BATUK over community and environmental harm

Amnesty International has released a stark new report accusing Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces of carrying out war crimes during their assault on Zamzam, the largest displacement camp in Darfur.

 According to the organisation, between 11 and 14 April the RSF and allied groups attacked civilians, burned shelters, destroyed clinics, mosques and schools, and forced more than 400 000 people to flee.

The findings suggest the violence at Zamzam is not an isolated incident, but part of a wider and continuing pattern of atrocities across Darfur as Sudan’s war worsens and humanitarian access collapses.

To help us understand what happened, what it means for civilians, and what the international community can realistically do, is Amnesty International researcher Niki Frederiek, who authored the report.​
