The Siege of El Fasher: Famine Threatens 5 Million People in Sudan
The conflict in Sudan has reached a critical tipping point with the siege of **El Fasher**, the last major hub for aid and refuge in Darfur. The United Nations warns that **nearly 5 million people** across Sudan are one step away from famine, making this the world’s most urgent hunger crisis. Your immediate support is vital to funding the last remaining aid corridors.
El Fasher Trapped: A Looming Mass Casualty Event
The intensifying assault on El Fasher has trapped over **1.5 million civilians**, including hundreds of thousands who had already fled violence in other parts of Darfur. This concentration of vulnerable people is now cut off from food, water, and medical care due to relentless fighting and deliberate aid blockage.
The widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure—including hospitals and water systems—is catastrophic. The situation is escalating the risk of both mass casualties from violence and, more critically, the rapid onset of **famine** across the Darfur and Kordofan regions.
The Crisis in Numbers
- **1.5 Million:** The number of civilians trapped and under siege in El Fasher.
- **12 Million:** The total number of people displaced internally or externally since the start of the conflict.
- **2 Million:** The number of children under five facing acute malnutrition.
- **< 20%:** The percentage of pre-war healthcare facilities still functioning in conflict zones.
