Sudan War Turns Famine Into Siege As RSF Torches UN Aid Convoy, Blocks Food To El Fasher | CLRCUT

Sudan is collapsing under the weight of a catastrophic war, now in its third year, with El Fasher at the epicentre of famine, siege, and mass displacement. On June 3, a UN aid convoy en route to the besieged city was ambushed—five humanitarian workers were killed, dozens injured, and vital food supplies destroyed. Responsibility remains disputed between the RSF and SAF, but the impact is clear: starvation is being weaponised. Over 4 million have now fled the country, while 11.6 million are displaced within, many trapped in RSF-controlled zones where aid cannot reach. In Darfur, sexual violence is surging—Doctors Without Borders recorded nearly 660 cases in South Darfur in just three months, mostly rapes by armed groups. Survivors speak of shame, trauma, and the fear of seeking help. Meanwhile, Sudan’s capital Khartoum is reeling from a deadly cholera outbreak, worsened by RSF drone strikes that destroyed water systems. With both famine and epidemic looming, and El Fasher nearly cut off, the crisis threatens not just Sudan’s future—but regional stability itself.
