el-Fasher

El-Fasher is a city in North Kordofan state, Sudan, with a population of approximately 300,000 people. The city has been significantly impacted by the ongoing civil war in Sudan, which began in 2023. Recent events include military operations by the government-aligned Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) to retake the city of Bara and secure el-Obeid in North Kordofan state. The conflict has resulted in significant human suffering, including famine, massacres, and sexual violence. The situation remains dire, with many civilians caught in the crossfire and struggling to access basic necessities like food and medical supplies. The international community is increasingly concerned about the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Sudan, with many calling it the world's largest humanitarian challenge.
