Hungry people run risk of shelling, bandits and militias on roads out as Rapid Support Forces try to take city
Aisha had wanted to stay with her husband when the Rapid Support Forces laid siege to the Sudanese city of El Fasher earlier this year. But as the shelling and bombing escalated, and supplies of essentials ran low, she was left with no choice.
