The conflict in Sudan, primarily between the Sudan===Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has led to a severe humanitarian crisis. The RSF's siege and takeover of Sudan===El Fasher in Sudan===Darfur resulted in thousands of civilian deaths and mass displacement. Charity kitchen workers, who provide essential food aid, have been targeted, killed, abducted, and harassed by the RSF, with over 100 reported deaths. This has led to the closure of many charity kitchens, exacerbating famine and food insecurity. Refugees like Enas Arbab, whose father Mohamed Arbab was killed by the RSF, have fled to neighboring countries like Egypt, only to face deportation. The United Nations and organizations like the Emergency Response Rooms are struggling to provide aid amidst the violence and lack of reliable data.
