RSF siege of El-Obeid enters 18th month amid acute humanitarian crisis

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have maintained a tightening siege on El-Obeid, the capital of North Kordofan, cutting off food and water supplies for half a million residents. As of August 2026, the city remains a primary target for drone strikes, with local reports indicating a total collapse of medical services. The Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have reinforced positions to prevent a total RSF corridor to Khartoum, but civilian displacement continues to surge.
