Overview

• RSF forces have besieged Al-Fashir since May 2024, severing humanitarian corridors and triggering acute food shortages.
• North Darfur health authorities recorded 63 hospital deaths from malnutrition in one week, with unreported burials suggesting the toll is higher.
• An RSF attack on the Abu Shouk camp north of Al-Fashir killed over 40 displaced people and wounded at least 19, according to AFP.
• Only about 30% of hospitals and 17% of health centers in Darfur remain operational, sharply reducing capacity to treat hunger and disease.
• UN agencies warn that imminent famine in North Darfur and chronic funding gaps must be addressed to prevent further catastrophe.
