Civilians in Sudanese City El Fasher 'at Risk of Mass Killings and Starvation'
- Sudan's civil war, starting in April 2023, has displaced over 10 million civilians internally, with millions fleeing to neighboring countries by mid-2025.
- The conflict intensified as clashes broke out between Sudan’s military forces and RSF paramilitaries, who have enforced a siege on El Fasher since May 2024 and carried out attacks targeting non-Arab ethnic populations.
- Ongoing assaults on health centers, including no fewer than seven attacks in El Fasher during May 2024, compelled MSF to discontinue its medical services in El Fasher by late summer 2024 and subsequently in Zamzam camp by early 2025.
- MSF and Save the Children have reported that assaults on healthcare facilities have increased almost threefold since the start of the two-year conflict, while over 17,766 children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition and 23,000 cholera cases have been reported this year.
- Humanitarian groups urge warring parties to stop violence, respect international law, and allow large-scale aid as the crisis causes famine, disease outbreaks, and ongoing displacement across Sudan.
