"Our children are dying before our eyes," laments one woman in the community kitchen, where food scarcity has driven prices to astronomical levels.

Desperate Call for Aid in El-Fasher: Unsafe Passage and Starvation Threaten Lives
Rare video footage reveals the dire situation of civilians in besieged El-Fasher, Sudan, including the heartbreaking plight of children suffering from starvation.
The community kitchen struggles to provide even meager meals, resorting to using animal feed as a primary source of sustenance due to shortages of basic ingredients like flour. The RSF has intensified its blockade of El-Fasher, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis through continuous attacks and denying essential food supplies. The UN has called for a humanitarian pause to allow aid delivery, but limited approved routes and ongoing violence leave civilians stranded.
Doctors report an increasing number of malnutrition-related deaths, with hospitals overwhelmed and devoid of resources. The international community’s lack of intervention has drawn criticism, as civilians in regions like El-Fasher are left to fend for themselves amidst endless suffering and neglect. As the video footage highlights, women like Faiza Abkar Mohammed are urgently appealing for any help, expressing exhaustion from ongoing violence and deprivation.
In Tawila, a nearby town where some displaced individuals attempt to find refuge, conditions remain perilous, with rising cholera cases caused by lack of clean water and inadequate medical supplies. The relentless cycle of conflict, famine, and disease continues to threaten the very existence of civilians, driving home the urgent need for international aid, urgent intervention, and lasting peace.
