UN chief calls for urgent action over Sahel crisis

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for urgent action to reverse a worsening humanitarian crisis in Africa's central Sahel region.

At a virtual high-level conference hosted by the UN, Germany, Denmark and the European Union on Tuesday to address the issue, Guterres said the humanitarian needs in the central Sahel region are at "a breaking point".

"We need to reverse this downward spiral with a renewed push for peace and reconciliation. We need to make space for vital humanitarian assistance and investments in development and people," he said.
