Overview

• The RSF has maintained a 14-month siege on al-Fashir, blocking food and fuel supplies and trapping about 900,000 people in the city under extreme deprivation.
• The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has elevated the situation to IPC Phase 5 full-scale famine, and many families are surviving on animal feed such as peanut-shell ambaz.
• A cholera outbreak has infected over 4,000 people in North Darfur and claimed nearly 200 lives as rainy-season conditions aggravate water and sanitation deficits.
• Humanitarian convoys have faced sustained RSF attacks or been turned back; a UN mission in June lost five aid workers when its convoy was fired on.
• Relentless RSF shelling and drone strikes have increased civilian deaths and expanded cemeteries, and displaced people fleeing to Tawila also face violent ambushes and inadequate shelter.
