Thousands in Sudan's al-Fashir face starvation and violence as conflict blocks aid.

Thousands in Sudan's al-Fashir city face severe starvation and violence due to the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The RSF has blocked food supplies and aid, leading to a humanitarian crisis with food shortages, electricity blackouts, and medical supply scarcity. The city's cemeteries are expanding daily, and many are fleeing to Tawila, where cholera is spreading due to lack of clean water and sanitation. Rights groups report the RSF has killed at least 14 civilians trying to flee, and the UN warns of a dire situation, calling for urgent aid access.
