Inside the Sudanese city under siege for more than 500 days | BBC News


The Sudanese city of El Fasher has been under siege for more than 500 days, with 300,000 civilians trapped inside – about half of them thought to be children.

Last week the United Nations described the city, in Sudan’s western Darfur province, as the "epicentre of suffering".

Thousands there are struggling to find food, and an upsurge in drone attacks has killed dozens of civilians this month.

It is very difficult to report from inside El Fasher, but the BBC has worked with local journalists trapped inside the city to find out what life is like for those who remain there.
