The Civil Democratic Alliance (Sumud) warns that 34 million Sudanese need humanitarian assistance. 19.5 million face acute food insecurity. 135,000 are living in catastrophic famine conditions. 825,000 children are at risk of severe acute malnutrition. More than 80% of health facilities are either non operational or barely functioning.

After an 18 month siege, the RSF captured El Fasher, the last SAF stronghold in Darfur, in October 2025. Reports indicate the Sudanese army, which was meant to defend the city’s civilians, had largely abandoned them. Conservative estimates place the civilian death toll in El Fasher alone at around 30,000 massacred.

(The civil war between the RSF and the SAF receives almost no attention, for some odd reason, the focus is always about Gaza)
