Sudan war: worsening humanitarian crisis in El-Obeid

Entities: Rapid Support Forces · North Kordofan · El-Obeid · Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo · el‑Obeid

Overview

The humanitarian situation in Sudan continues to deteriorate. By late July 2026 the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned that 33.7 million people still require emergency assistance, with only a fraction receiving full food, water and medical aid. Famine remains confirmed in seven zones, and cholera cases are still rising in al‑Obeid.

In the weeks preceding the latest update, the Sudanese Armed Forces retook the main highway linking Khartoum with El‑Obeid, securing the towns of Bara, Jabra al‑Sheikh and the Umm Sayala area. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) responded with a threat to intensify its campaign, pledging “no sleep… it is do or die.”

Civilian targeting persisted. A drone strike on Al‑Jamama village in North Kordofan on 30 July killed nine civilians and injured fourteen; similar attacks have killed over 1,000 people in Kordofan since the start of the year. Reports document nearly 4,000 cases of sexual violence in Darfur, including a significant proportion of minors.

UN investigations concluded that the RSF and allied militias committed genocide in Darfur. The conflict, now in its fourth year, has killed more than 200,000 people and displaced over 11 million, while 33 million Sudanese remain in urgent need of aid.

UNICEF’s Sudan chief warned that El‑Obeid faces a “massive disaster that keeps getting worse.” Rising prices, limited clean water and a sharp increase in malnutrition are compounding the crisis. A growing cholera outbreak threatens displaced populations, and gender‑based violence, especially rape, has surged. Humanitarian actors say the gap between needs and response is massive, with food, water and medical supplies far short of demand. A nationwide poverty survey found 99.9 % of Sudan’s rural population lives in extreme poverty, underscoring the broader socioeconomic collapse.
