By late May 2026, the ongoing siege and renewed offensive by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher, North Darfur, exacerbated severe famine conditions. A situation analysis published on ReliefWeb noted widespread civilian suffering due to indiscriminate shelling and siege tactics. The recent escalation forced an estimated 15,000 civilians to flee the city towards surrounding regions despite extreme movement restrictions.
