Sudan is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with the besieged city of El Fasher experiencing mounting hunger and threats of famine. The United Nations and humanitarian organizations have issued warnings about the dire situation, highlighting the difficulty in delivering aid over the past year. Residents of El Fasher have resorted to consuming animal feed and peanut remnants to survive. The World Health Organization reports that after more than two years of conflict, Sudan is enduring the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, characterized by widespread disease, hunger, displacement, and despair. Cholera has spread to all 18 states with over 96,000 cases since August 2024, alongside ongoing outbreaks of measles and malaria. UN humanitarians have called for a pause in hostilities to allow aid access to trapped families, particularly in El Fasher. Meanwhile, Sudanese journalists in exile continue to report on the conflict, ensuring international awareness of the ongoing tragedy involving warring generals, illegal gold mining, and a population caught in the crisis.
