Overview
- At least 21.2 million people face high levels of acute food insecurity, with famine confirmed in el-Fasher and Kadugli, according to UN-backed assessments.
- WFP says it can reach 4–5 million people a month and has capacity for more, yet access denials and insecurity prevent deliveries into many besieged or contested areas.
- An RSF drone strike on a kindergarten in South Kordofan’s Kalogi killed many people, including children, according to local medical and official accounts, prompting fresh UN warnings about atrocities in Kordofan.
- WFP officials describe trying airdrops, digital cash and staging convoys near closed corridors, but say fighting and damaged supply routes have choked off aid to populations in greatest need.
- Local doctors report documented cases of rape of displaced women by RSF fighters at the al-Afad camp, while millions have been uprooted within Sudan or fled to neighboring countries.
