Sudan's El Obeid faces humanitarian catastrophe amid sparse international media coverage
Journalist Hiba Morgan, one of the few reporters working inside El Obeid, spoke with Al Jazeera's Nicholas Muirhead about conditions in the Sudanese city as the country's ongoing war drives what Al Jazeera describes as a looming humanitarian catastrophe. According to Al Jazeera English, international media coverage of the crisis in El Obeid remains scarce, leaving the severity of events on the ground largely undocumented by outside outlets.
