Recent reports reveal massacres unfolding across El Fasher, North Darfur, where our Muslim brothers and sisters are being killed, starved, and terrorised as violence reaches unimaginable levels. Without immediate intervention, thousands could die within days from brutal violence, starvation, and the deliberate blockade of humanitarian aid.

For months, relentless violence has torn through El Fasher, with civilians trapped between the fighting. Entire neighbourhoods have been brought to their knees, homes reduced to ash and rubble, and the bodies of the martyred are left to lie in the streets.

Those who have witnessed these horrors struggle to find words – people are being murdered as they desperately flee for their lives, the wounded are left abandoned to die slow, agonising deaths, and children shed tears over the lifeless bodies of their mothers and fathers.

Even the 'Road to Safety' is Dangerous

Civilians who are trying to escape toward Tawila and neighbouring villages are facing extortion, kidnapping, sexual violence and execution at armed checkpoints. Displaced families report seeing bodies every ten metres between El Fasher and Tawila; many of those who survive the journey arrive elderly, injured, or severely malnourished.

More than 400,000 displaced people were already seeking refuge in Tawila. Now, those who manage to escape and reach the town find almost no food, no medicine, and no shelter waiting for them. Children are arriving alone, torn from their families, some in shock and visibly starving. The communities hosting them are overwhelmed and stretched beyond capacity, and humanitarian agencies can barely meet even half of the most basic needs.

A Complete Collapse of Humanitarian Access

Humanitarian access to El Fasher has been completely severed, and the fate of those still trapped inside weighs heavily on every conscience. Local aid workers are risking their lives under constant bombardment, with communications cut off and relief convoys deliberately blocked by siege tactics. Families are dying from hunger and thirst inside the city, unable to flee, while aid organisations remain powerless to reach them. This is a complete humanitarian blackout – a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a crime before Allah ﷻ.

Overcrowded and Underserved in Tawila

More than 36,000 people have fled since Saturday alone – most on foot, carrying only what they could grab – to a place already sheltering over 650,000 displaced.

Sudan has become home to the world's largest humanitarian and displacement crisis ever recorded. Out of a population of 51 million, approximately 14 million people – more than one in four – have been forced from their homes. Famine is ravaging communities, and deadly outbreaks of cholera and other diseases are spreading rapidly.

Vulnerable to Climate Disasters

Following days of heavy rains that Sudan has endured, a landslide completely destroyed an entire village in Sudan’s Marra Mountains in the western Darfur region, killing over 1,000 people. The village of Tarasin was completely levelled to the ground, leaving only one survivor. This tragedy represents the latest chapter in Sudan’s escalating humanitarian crisis. 

There has been immense difficulty in getting help to retrieve the bodies of people who the landslide has buried, something that could take a long time. The affected area is inaccessible by road, severely hindering rescue efforts for Sudan flood victims.  

This devastating natural disaster has hit a nation already broken by war, now in its third year. The situation is critical: famine has already been declared in parts of Darfur, and nearby villages face the same fate if the torrential rainfall continues. The immediate need for evacuation and emergency shelter is a Fard Kifayah (collective obligation) upon the Ummah. 

Crisis in Sudan: The World’s Worst Humanitarian Crisis

In a time where it seems like we are surrounded by humanitarian crises, Sudan is suffering the worst of them all. The numbers are a direct challenge to our conscience as believers. Millions of people are living in or on the brink of famine. More than 14 million—nearly one-third of the population—have been forced to flee their homes, over 3 million of them to neighbouring countries.  

The people of Sudan are suffering from multiple crises simultaneously. First from nature: climate change has been devastating communities across South Sudan, causing recurrent floods and severe droughts, made even worse by the recent El Niño phenomenon. Secondly, from mankind: a brutal war, now in its third year, has shattered the nation, creating the world’s worst humanitarian disaster.  
 
The scale of need is staggering. More than 30 million people in Sudan are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. The country's infrastructure, already weakened by past crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, has now collapsed. This has severed critical lifelines, especially for children, whose education has been completely disrupted.  

Famine is no longer a threat, but a reality in multiple regions. Malnutrition rates are rising rapidly all over the country as more than 24 million people—around half the population— are acutely food insecure. A further 600,000 Sudanese face catastrophic levels of hunger, and in total, more than 150,000 people have been killed by the conflict.
