Sudan: UN warns of famine threat as fighting escalates in northern Darfur
In Sudan’s Northern Darfur, displaced residents describe dire conditions under a tree amid intense heat and seasonal rains. They fled el-Fasher due to heavy shelling and gunfire in what’s described as a major escalation. Thousands face uncertainty with missing family members and urgent needs for food and shelter. The area, a stronghold for Sudan’s army, is now a focal point of fighting with the Rapid Support Forces. The UN warns of famine risk across Sudan, highlighting a humanitarian crisis affecting millions displaced by the violence.
