Children who die of starvation in the town of El-Fasher of Darfur

Women in the community’s kitchen in the besieged Sudanese city of El-Fasher are sitting in despair.

“Our children die before our eyes,” says one of them to the BBC.

“We don’t know what to do. They are innocent. They have nothing to do with the army or (his paramilitary rival) the fast support forces. Our suffering is worse than what you can imagine.”

The food is so scarce in El-Fasher that prices have grown to the point where the money they have covered for a week can now buy only one. International assistance organizations have condemned the “calculated use of hunger as a weapon of war.”

The BBC has received rare frames from people who are still caught in the city, sent to us by a local activist and shot by a freelance operator.

The Sudanese army has been fighting the rapid support forces (RSF) for more than two years after their commanders jointly organized a coup and then fell.

El-Fasher, in the area of Western Darfur, is one of the most brutal front lines in the conflict.

The hunger crisis is complicated by a hood of cholera, swept through poor camps of displaced by the fighting that escalates this week in One of the most intensive RSF attacks so farS

The Paramilitari tightened their 14-month-old blockade after losing control of the Hardum capital earlier this year and intensified their battle for El-Fasher, the last support of the Armed Forces in Darfur.

In the north and the center of the country where the army fought back from the territory of RSF, food and medical care began to indent in civil suffering.

But the situation is desperate in the zones of the conflicts of Western and South Sudan.

In the common kitchen, Matbakh-al-Khair in El-Fasher at the end of last month volunteers turned Ambaz into a mess. This is the rest of peanuts after extracting the oil, usually fed to animals.

Sometimes it is possible to find sorghum or millet, but on the day of the photos, the kitchen manager says, “There is no flour or bread.”

“We have now reached the point of eating at Ambaz. May God release us from this disaster, there is nothing to buy on the market,” he adds.

The UN has intensified its call for a humanitarian pause to allow food convoys to the city, with its envoy of Sudan Sheldon Yet once more wanting this week that the warring countries are complying with their obligations under international law.

The army gave permission to the trucks to continue, but the UN is still waiting for an official word from the paramilitary group.

RSF advisers said they believe that the truce would be used to facilitate the supply of food and ammunition to the “besieged militia” of the army inside El-Fasher.

They also claim that the paramilitary group and its allies create “safe routes” for civilians to leave the city.

Local responses at EL-Fasher may receive some emergency money through a digital banking system, but that doesn’t go very far.

“The prices in the markets have erupted,” says Matilde Wu, a Norwegian refugee advice manager.

“Today $ 5,000 (£ 3.680) covers one meal for 1,500 people in a day. Three months ago, the same amount can feed them all week.”

Doctors say People die of malnutritionS It is impossible to know how much – a report citing a regional health official put more than 60 last week.

Hospitals can’t handle it. Few still work. They were damaged by the firing and did not have medical supplies to help both fasting and those injured in continuous bombing.

“We have a lot of malnourished children admitted to the hospital, but unfortunately there is not a single sachet of (therapeutic food),” says Dr. Ibrahim Abdullah Hatter, a pediatrician at Al Saudi Hospital, noting that the five severely malnourished children currently have medical complications in the ward.

“They just wait for their death,” he says.

When hungry crises are hit, those who usually die first are the most vulnerable, the least healthy or suffering from existing conditions.

“The situation is so unhappy, it is so catastrophic,” the doctor tells us in a voice message.

“El-Fasher’s children die daily due to lack of food, lack of medicine. Unfortunately, the international community just watches.”

International non -governmental organizations working in Sudan issued an emergency statement This week, announcing that “prolonged attacks, preventing assistance, and directing critical infrastructure shows a deliberate strategy to break the civilian population through hunger, fear and exhaustion.”

They said that “anecdotal reports of recent storage of military foods add to the suffering of civilians.”

“There is no safe transition from the city, with the roads blocked by those trying to escape from attacks, taxation at checkpoints, community discrimination and death,” organizations said.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been running in recent months, many of Zamzam has displaced people’s camp at the end of El-Fasher, seized by RSF in April.

They arrive in Tavila, a city 60 km (37 miles) west of the city, weak and dehydrated, with Accounts for violence and extortion along the way By RSF-lined groups.

Life is more favored in crowded bearings, but they are lurking -the most dead of all: cholera.

It is caused by contaminated water and has killed hundreds in Sudan, caused by the destruction of water infrastructure and lack of food and medical care and is worsened by floods due to the rainy season.

Unlike El-Fasher, at least Tawila workers have access, but their supplies are limited, says John Joseph Obby, a project coordinator on the spot for a group called Alliance for International Medical Actions.

“We have a shortage of (washing) with regard to medical supplies so that we can handle this situation,” he told the BBC. “We mobilize resources to see how we can react best.”

Sylvain Penicaud of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) estimates that there are only three liters of water a day in the camps a day, which, according to him, is “far under the basic need and forces people to receive water from contaminated sources.”

Zubaida Ismail Ishaq lies in the tent clinic. She is seven months pregnant, insightful and exhausted. Her story is a tale of trauma told by many.

She tells us that she traded when she had some money before running away from El-Fasher.

Her husband is captured by armed men on the way to Tavila. Her daughter has a head injury.

Zubaida and her mother went down the cholera shortly after arriving at the camp.

“We drink water without brewing it,” she says. “No one will take us water. Since I came here, I have nothing left.”

Back to El -Fashire, we hear calls for help from women piled in the kitchen of the soup – all kinds of help.

“We are exhausted. We want this siege to be lifted,” says Fiaza Abcar Mohammed. “Even if they go out with food, they affinate anything – we are completely exhausted.”
