El-Fasher: Siege, starvation and a media blackout
"As el-Fasher is starved, Sudanese journalists struggle to report a war buried by blackouts and global neglect. El-Fasher, Sudan: a city besieged, starving and largely unseen. As journalists come under fire in Sudan, a lack of international media interest is helping to conceal one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.

"In the occupied West Bank, American journalist Jasper Nathaniel filmed Israeli settlers backed by soldiers attacking Palestinians during the olive harvest. Ryan Kohls speaks to Nathaniel about what he witnessed and what it reveals about Israel's culture of impunity. India's news channels were once symbols of a vibrant democracy. Today, they're seen by many of India's neighbours as propaganda tools exporting jingoism, sensationalism and Hindutva politics across borders."
El-Fasher suffers a siege with widespread starvation and harsh blackouts that obstruct reporting. Sudanese journalists operate under attack and severe information suppression while limited international media attention allows a major humanitarian crisis to remain obscured. In the occupied West Bank, a filmed incident shows Israeli settlers backed by soldiers attacking Palestinians during the olive harvest, illustrating patterns of violence and perceived impunity. India's television channels have shifted from democratic symbols to outlets viewed as propaganda, exporting jingoism, sensationalism and Hindutva politics across borders, fueling rising anti-India sentiment and a regional credibility crisis.
