The United Nations has raised the alarm over a rapidly worsening humanitarian situation in El-Obeid, a city besieged by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces. Civilians remaining in the city are dying amid relentless attacks.
Residents trapped inside the siege describe bombed water infrastructure, unrelenting strikes, and growing fears of famine as food stocks run low. The disruption to water supplies is also raising the risk of disease outbreaks.
The fighting in Sudan continues as part of the wider conflict between the army and the RSF that has split the country in two. International aid organisations say access to besieged areas remains severely restricted, worsening conditions for civilians trapped inside.
