The New Normal for El Obeid: A City at War's Mercy The humanitarian crisis unfolding in El Obeid, Sudan, serves as a stark reminder that the impact of war can be just as devastating even in cities far from the capital's chaos.
For over three years, civilians have fled to this once thriving city, now home to more than 200,000 internally displaced people.
The influx has pushed El Obeid to breaking point, with dire consequences for those caught in the crossfire. Over 15,000 families arrived in mid July alone, contributing to a staggering overcrowding problem.
