We reported from #Omdurman , where we saw the worst and best of #Sudan : an RSF torture chamber and a doctor who’s feeding the poor and displaced in his war-torn neighbourhood. With ⁦Soren Munk⁩ ⁦Zahra Warsame⁩ ⁦Channel 4 News⁩ channel4.com/news/inside-su…

A soup kitchen in #Omdurman . Looting, displacement and the failure of the international aid system have left Sudanese dependent on each other - amazing volunteers are keeping fellow citizens alive. #eyesonsudan more ⁦Channel 4 News⁩ tonight

On Tuesday 21 May, we evacuated some of our management team who were based in El Fasher to other locations within North #Darfur because of heavy, ongoing fighting in the city. (1/4)

Reports from El Fasher in Sudan are terrible: deadly attacks on civilians, horrifying accounts of ethnic targeting, people too fearful of checkpoints to even flee!

Deliberate violence on civilians must stop. Their right to seek safety must be respected. Ceasefire is needed now!

So grim: in #Omdurman we found what appears to have been an RSF torture chamber. The neighbour discovered it when he returned. More ⁦Channel 4 News⁩ tonight #eyesonsudan

Famine threatens 5 million people in #Sudan and many in #Gaza .

These crises are preventable.
 
Famine is not a casual event. It’s a viral killer.
 
My full conversation with CNN's Becky Anderson:

The Biden administration will insist that a major military operation is in fact a limited one, and ignore how the operation and the hasty evacuation of Rafah are deepening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. And, voila, it will avoid having to follow through on its threats.

And the evacuation itself has not been smooth. Gazans fleeing Rafah are arriving in a long-hyped 'humanitarian zone' that still doesn't have the most basic infrastructure for sanitation, and where they often cannot find or cannot afford tents. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

This talk of a 'limited' Rafah offensive seems like spin from a White House that wants to backtrack from its warnings. And it dovetails with an Israeli talking point about how the evacuation from Rafah shows that Israel listened to America (it didn't). 🧵 timesofisrael.com/israel-moves-t…

War is fragmenting #Sudan , no side can win outright and nobody expects it to end soon.

In this Q&A, two @ACLEDinfo researchers told me of their revolution-era hopes, exile from #Khartoum and data-watching over the past year/s of turmoil.

This doesn't bode well for the residents of #ElFasher or the surrounding IDP camps - MSF was 1 of the last int'l aid agencies still operating there, and among few able to respond to mass casualty events.

And meanwhile no one is coming to evacuate the civilians.

In Zalingei, Central #Darfur , people have been forced to flee their homes – often at risk of violence or bombings, to find themselves living in looted and abandoned schools, banks, fire stations and camps.

MSF International is providing medical care, but more aid is urgently needed.
