Over 5,500 children displaced by fighting in Sudan’s el-Obeid, charity says, Aljazeera

Save the Children says families in and around the besieged city of el-Obeid are facing increasingly difficult living conditions………….

………….“Throughout June, the situation… was extremely challenging – drones rained heavily in and around the city,” Emad, a civilian living in el-Obeid with his family, told Save the Children. “About 11 fuel stations were hit, along with fuel tankers… Additionally, tankers sitting idle inside the city were also hit, including water tankers.”

Siege-like conditions and overcrowding from internal displacement have also exacerbated a seasonal cholera outbreak, with 300 cases confirmed by Sudan’s State Ministry of Health, the charity said.
