Overview

  • In December 2024 the IPC Famine Review Committee declared al-Fashir and nearby camps to be in full-scale famine (IPC Phase 5).
  • Sudan Armed Forces and allied fighters repelled a recent RSF assault that included foreign combatants, killing a commander holding Colombian citizenship.
  • RSF artillery and drone strikes continue to target the city day and night, driving up civilian casualties and swelling new burial grounds.
  • Aid convoys have been attacked or turned back by RSF forces since mid-2024, leaving residents without vital food, fuel or medicine.
  • More than 500,000 displaced people sheltering in Tawila are contending with a cholera outbreak that has caused over 2,500 infections and at least 52 deaths.
