Sudan’s North Darfur region is facing a widespread famine, exacerbated by the ongoing conflict between the military and the Rapid Support Forces. This dire situation, classified as a famine by international standards, has forced millions into displacement and desperation, with dire consequences for food security and humanitarian aid.
The final operational hospital in El-Fasher, western Sudan, has been shuttered due to an attack by paramilitaries attempting to seize the city. The assault has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region, which is grappling with famine. The hospital’s evacuation and subsequent looting have raised concerns over the targeting of medical facilities and the escalating conflict in Sudan, which has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions.
