Shutdown of Free Kitchens Worsens Hunger Crisis in Darfur

Monitoring – Mashawir

The dire humanitarian crisis in El Fasher has intensified, with essential goods disappearing from stores—including sugar, onions, rice, salt, and lentils—amid a sharp decline in supplies of millet, sorghum, and medicine.

Free kitchens that had been providing meals to thousands of hungry people have ceased operations after exhausting all food reserves. El Fasher is one of the largest shelter hubs and displacement centers in the country.

Meanwhile, North Darfur’s Governor, El-Hafez Bakhit, urged residents of El Fasher not to leave the city, pledging to provide some local aid through community kitchens (“tekayas”) despite the suffocating economic crisis and growing signs of famine.

Bakhit explained that the areas to which displaced people are being relocated—and which are controlled by forces loyal to Darfur Regional Governor El-Hadi Idris of the “Tassiss” alliance and the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Abdelwahid Nour—are unsafe.
