The UN Food Agency warned that the families who came to the Sudanese city of El Fasher are facing fasting.
The World Food Program (WFP) has stated that she could not deliver food to the city in the Western Darfur region for more than a year.
El -Fasher was surrounded by paramilitary fighters (RSF) for almost 16 months – he decided to seize him in the Sudan army.
WFP warning comes when local activists have already started reporting death, hunger in the city, where about 300,000 people still live.
In April 2023, Sudan plunged into the civil war after between the army and its former ally, which creates one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world, the struggle for power erupted.
The UN Children’s Agency (UNICEF) also made a statement saying that malnutrition is overflowing across the country, and many children “come down to skin and bones.”
WFP warning repeats the recent appeal to the Northern Darfur Governor al-Hafiz Bahit, who said the life situation in El Fosher has become unbearable.
Bakhhit is agreed with the Sudan Military Government, which is trying to maintain control over the city, the last consolidation in Darfura.
The Battle of RSF for the admiration of El Fasher in the Sudanese Army has intensified in recent monthsAfter the paramillers were expelled from the capital, Khartum.
UN statistics in early July showed that 38% of children under the age of five in camps for internally displaced people within and near El Fasher suffered from acute malnutrition.
The WFP said a strong food deficit dramatically increased the prices for deficient supplies to EL-Fasher, and referred to the fact that people ate animal feed and food waste to try to survive.
The agency did not call the party responsible – but RSF cut the trade routes and blocked the supply lines to the city.
“Everyone in El Foshera is facing a daily struggle for survival,” said Eric Pedison, a WFP regional director of East and South Africa.
“More than two years of war were completely exhausted by people’s fight against people. Without immediate and sustainable access, life will be lost,” he added.
The agency quotes an eight -year -old girl Schodos, who escaped from the city with five family members.
“El Fosher had a lot of shelling and hunger. Only hunger and bombs,” the girl said, adding that the family survived only on millet.
WFP said it had trucks loaded with food and food, and received a registration from the Sudanese government to move to El Fasher.
He is still waiting for a word from RSF on whether it will pause in the fight to allow goods to the city.
Since the beginning of June, the UN has been pushing for a weekly humanitarian truce when the UN convoy was attacked on the way to El Fasher-with the army and the RSF has accused each other of the strike.
The Sudan State Agency reports that General’s Armed Forces Head of General Abdel Fatah Al -Burhan – the country’s actual leader – agreed to the temporary ceasefire.
RSF has not officially answered. However, the reports cited by RSF Advisers say the group rejected the initiative because it believed that the truce would be used to facilitate the provision of food and ammunition “besieged by Burhan’s police” inside El Fasher.
They also claimed that RSF and its allies created “safe routes” to leave the city.
Last month, the International Migration Organization (moms) stated Including those from the neighboring Zamzam camp, which was confiscated by the RSF in April.
The BBC heard the first-hand accounts about her desperate flight from the enhanced bombing of El Fasher and the attacks of RSF-EallIED gangs on the road.
The WFP said it has made modest progress in providing food assistance to some other parts of Darfur, but stated that these delicate income risked when the roads were closed in the coming season.
Sudan UNICEF SHALDON spokesman also said some conditions are slowly improving in the Central Sudan areas that have recently become available to help workers after the Sudan army expelled RSF fighters.
But he said the resources were stretched to the border from a recent reduction in funding, apparently citing a sharp decline in US President Donald Trump’s international assistance.
“This is an upcoming catastrophe,” he said.
“We are on the verge of irreversible damage to the children of the whole generation, not because we lack knowledge and tools to preserve them, but because we do not act with urgency, and on the scale of this crisis is required. We need access to these children.”
