The humanitarian situation in Sudan's Darfur region, particularly in the city of El Fasher, has reached a critical point as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have encircled the city, cutting off essential supplies of water, food, and fuel. Toby Harward, the UN Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, described the situation in El Fasher as 'catastrophic', highlighting the systematic burning of villages, escalating airstrikes, and blocked aid deliveries. The United Nations and other agencies have issued urgent warnings about the risk of widespread starvation and death if humanitarian aid is not allowed into the region. The World Food Program has specifically noted the growing hunger crisis, exacerbated by lethal attacks on aid personnel. Michelle Gavin discussed the situation on WarCast, and a Dutch think tank predicts that 1 million Sudanese could perish due to famine.
