Sudan’s war has turned El Fasher into the epicenter of the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, with about 30 million people now in need of aid. After months under siege, the Rapid Support Forces seized the city this fall, sending tens of thousands toward Tawila as malnutrition and disease surge.

Sudan’s war has killed tens of thousands and uprooted millions, with the United Nations’ humanitarian chief warning that Darfur has become an epicenter of human suffering. Donor retrenchment — including reduced U.S. foreign aid — has deepened the shortfall for relief operations, while regional powers’ backing of rival forces has helped fuel the conflict.
