Thousands Flee El Fasher for Tawila as Hunger Deepens in North Darfur

Thousands of people are fleeing El Fasher for Tawila in Sudan’s North Darfur state, as worsening food shortages and continued fighting drive a new wave of displacement.

The movement comes amid warnings of imminent famine, with families forced to leave as access to food becomes increasingly precarious.

Humanitarian relief efforts are being hampered by attacks on aid convoys and the closure of crossings, obstructing the delivery of urgently needed supplies.

The latest displacement adds to the humanitarian pressure in North Darfur, where ongoing battles and barriers to aid are leaving those fleeing with few assurances of relief.
