Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Sudan’s Paramilitary RSF Continues Deadly Attack on El Fasher as U.N. Warns Famine Could Spread

HeadlineAug 05, 2024

In Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces killed at least 23 people Saturday in a shelling on the besieged North Darfur city of El Fasher, as the paramilitary group struggles to gain full control over Darfur.

Aid groups warn the spiraling humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan could engulf the entire region after famine was declared in the Zamzam camp for displaced people, located outside El Fasher. At least 10 million people have been displaced amid Sudan’s brutal civil war. This is a woman at Zamzam.

Duria Abdelrahman: “Since we came to Zamzam, nothing has been provided to us by the organization, and we are suffering from lack of food, water and everything else. But we are staying here, thank God, until now. We are eating simple food, thank God. We need water, food, healthcare, and for God to lift this curse from Sudan, nothing more than that.”
