War in Sudan has left charity kitchen workers and displaced families facing growing humanitarian hardship.
In Darfur’s el-Fasher, months of siege and fighting devastated neighbourhoods and disrupted food and water supplies.
U.N. officials say thousands of civilians were killed when the city was overrun last October.
More than 100 charity kitchen workers have been reported killed since the conflict began in April 2023.
Local volunteers say the true figure is likely higher, as insecurity hampers documentation.
Community kitchens, often organised by the Emergency Response Rooms network, have become a vital source of daily meals.
In areas of intense fighting, famine conditions are spreading and basic goods are scarce.
Closures of kitchens have left vulnerable families with few affordable food options, according to the United Nations.
Many displaced Sudanese have fled to neighbouring countries, seeking safety and basic services.
Aid groups warn that without sustained humanitarian support, hunger and displacement will continue to deepen.
