The humanitarian situation in El Fasher has critically worsened, with over 260,000 people trapped without access to life-saving supplies, according to a statement from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Mission in Sudan (@UN_Sudan). The city has been under siege for over 500 days, exacerbating the dire conditions for its inhabitants. The WHO reported that 35 health facilities have been destroyed, severely limiting medical care. Furthermore, there are 5,000 suspected cases of cholera, resulting in 98 deaths, and 130,000 children are suffering from malnutrition, highlighting the severe public health crisis. Humanitarian organizations, including the WHO and @UN_Sudan, are awaiting the establishment of a humanitarian corridor to deliver essential aid to the beleaguered population. The lack of access to these supplies continues to drive the escalating crisis.
