Sudan: 63 People Die of Malnutrition in City of El Fasher in Northern Darfur

HeadlineAug 11, 2025

In Sudan, 63 people have died of malnutrition in the city of El Fasher in northern Darfur, according to a health official in the region who spoke to AFP. El Fasher has been under siege by the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces, who have been in conflict with Sudan’s army since 2023. The death toll is likely an undercount, since it only includes individuals who were able to reach hospitals in the area.
