'Our children are dying' - rare footage shows plight of civilians in besieged Sudan city

The paramilitaries tightened their 14-month blockade after losing control of the capital Khartoum earlier this year, and stepped up their battle for el-Fasher, the last foothold of the armed forces in Darfur. In the north and centre of the country where the army has wrestled back territory from the RSF, food and medical aid have begun to make a dent in civilian suffering. The outbreak is triggered by the destruction of water infrastructure and lack of food and medical care, and made worse by flooding due to the rainy season.
