In Sudan's North Darfur, a cholera outbreak has compounded the critical humanitarian crisis as paramilitary forces lay siege to el-Fasher, cutting off food and medical supplies. Residents rely on animal fodder to survive as scarcity grips the area. Starvation risks loom large, confirmed by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, signaling full-blown famine. The RSF has obstructed aid efforts, leading to heightened prices for smuggled goods. Reports indicate that cholera has claimed at least 191 lives, exacerbating an already dire situation due to prolonged conflict.
People in Sudan's North Darfur region are forced to eat animal fodder to survive as the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) continues to lay siege to el-Fasher, the last urban centre in the region under army control.
Othman Angaro described how he and his family rely on livestock fodder known as ambaz, warning that they cannot survive in this condition and urgently need humanitarian aid.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) warned about starvation in the el-Fasher region, indicating full-blown famine under IPC Phase 5, which poses grave risks to the population.
The RSF has blocked food supplies, with aid convoys being attacked, leading to skyrocketing prices for smuggled goods, which cost over five times the national average.
