The Sudan Doctors Network has issued a stark warning as El Fasher endures over a year long missile fighting between General Abdel Fattah al Burhan’s army and rival Rapid Support Forces.
More than 100,000 children in North Darfur are now in grave danger, facing the brunt of a deepening humanitarian crisis.
Doctors report that continued bombardments have decimated hospitals, cut off essential supplies, and left families trapped with nowhere to flee.
El Fasher, once a vital urban centre, now echoes with the sounds of shellfire, its skyline pierced by smoke and crumbling buildings.
Medical workers speak of empty pharmacies, overflowing clinics, and injuries untreated due to a desperate lack of resources and security.
According to the Network, children are the most vulnerable—malnourished, traumatised, and exposed to disease in overcrowded, makeshift shelters.
The siege has also blocked humanitarian aid, severing access to food, water, and medical care for tens of thousands of civilians.
Despite repeated calls for ceasefire and humanitarian corridors, armed clashes continue, with neither side easing pressure on the besieged city.
The Sudan Doctors Network described the situation as “an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” urging international intervention to prevent mass loss of life.
As conflict tightens its grip on Darfur, El Fasher has become a haunting symbol of war’s toll on the innocent.
