International aid organisations have intensified their warnings over starvation in Sudan.
Sudan was plunged into a civil war in April 2023 after a vicious power struggle erupted between the army and its former ally, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) – creating one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
The World Food Programme said it had not been able to deliver food to the city in the western Darfur region by road for more than a year.
The city of El-Fasher has been surrounded by paramilitary fighters from the RSF for nearly 16 months – determined to seize it from Sudan’s army.
Local activists have already begun reporting deaths by starvation in the city, which is still home to about 300,000 people.
