El-Fasher is the state capital of Sudan’s North Darfur region, and has been under siege by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since May 2024.
Conditions in the city have continued to deteriorate amid intensifying drone strikes that target civilians sheltering in displacement camps, mosques and clinics.
