"The conditions people in Zamzam are living in are deplorable. There have been no official food distributions in the camp since May 2023. Although a handful of UN trucks reached El Fasher two weeks ago, nothing reached Zamzam until Monday 29 April. On this date, community leaders were handed food that they were then expected to distribute among the people.
Even before the start of the war, people in the camp received very little support. Food rations were much lower than international standards, there was insufficient clean water and there were only two other health clinics in the vast camp before MSF opened its first one in 2022, both of which are now barely functional.

Sudan: MSF warns of catastrophic malnutrition crisis in Zamzam camp amidst escalating violence in North Darfur | MSF
As fighting escalates around El Fasher in North Darfur, Sudan, MSF warns of a catastrophic malnutrition crisis in Zamzam camp.Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) International
"Following the devastating results of a rapid nutrition and mortality assessment conducted by MSF in early January, a mass screening of more than 63,000 children under-five, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women, was conducted in March and April. The results confirm that there is a catastrophic and life-threatening malnutrition crisis in Zamzam camp, North Darfur.
Despite having called urgently for support in February when the results of the rapid assessment were published, nearly three months later, MSF remains almost the only international aid agency responding to this enormous crisis – and, as a result, one of the very few able to respond to mass casualty events in El Fasher."

MEDIA RESOURCE GUIDE: SUDAN CIVIL WAR
"The Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association (AMEJA) is issuing guidance to help newsrooms more accurately and critically cover issues related to Sudan.
Sudan is in the middle of a civil war, resulting in a humanitarian disaster, famine, and the world’s largest displacement crisis. Yet coverage of the war by the news media has been minimal. Some experts are calling Sudan’s current conflict the “forgotten war” due to the lack of coverage. AMEJA created this reporting guide in response to requests from industry reporters, editors, and producers for resources to better understand the historical context and nuance.
This guidance was created with input from journalists from the region and media professionals across all types of media platforms. This is not an exhaustive list of guidelines and resources, and AMEJA expects these recommendations to evolve as events unfold."
"The violence must end, and the dignity of everyone must be a priority in these conflicts. No one should have to endure what I am describing, yet millions of families spend their entire days under such conditions.
[...]
The solution, while simple in theory, involves stopping the violence through decisive action by the international community and continuing to support the mechanism for emergency and coordinated response to protect civilian populations and ensure their safety."

Humanitarian crises in the DRC and Sudan: Over 14 million displaced as famine looms
In 2024, two major conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan displaced 14 million people on the continent.Global Voices
aside from being a really important article about sudanese journalism during this war, this article also provides 1) actions that journalists world-over should take/values that should be honored and 2) more places to add to your socials/etc. to keep abreast of information about sudan
"Targeted murders of journalists have plunged Sudan into a total media blackout. This prevents journalists from fulfilling their crucial role in informing the public, upholding journalistic integrity, and exposing the war’s devastating consequences. Millions are suffering, our nation is fractured, and foreign intervention looms.
Beyond silencing free media, the warring parties wage a parallel information war. Propaganda, hate speech, and fabricated news manipulate civilians and obstruct access to truth. Severed communication networks further isolate citizens from loved ones and essential resources.
Despite these daunting challenges, the Sudan Media Forum stands united. We journalists, and media professionals, remain committed to our professional responsibilities. We seek the truth, expose violations, defend human rights, and fight for accountability.
We urge the global community to rally behind the Sudanese people and demand an immediate end to the war through negotiations. This conflict has caused enough suffering and democratic regression."

Help Randa's Family flee war in Sudan
"Hello,everyone !
My name is Randa , and my friends organized this fundraiser to help and support my family in finding their way to a peaceful place, hopefully joining me in Rwanda.
Challenge:
Six members of my family are trapped in Sudan, including two with disabilities and chronic illness. My father, who is 70 years old, retired a long time ago due to his medical condition (complete blind with both eyes). He is also diabetic . Our youngest sister had been diagnosed with Erb's palsy since birth. My father and three sisters are now stranded and stuck without first aid treatment, water, food and shelter in Sennar State and my two brothers are trapped in Khartoum in our house where our neighborhood is under RSF control!
