Key takeaways

  • El-Geneina residents face soaring food and water costs as aid struggles to meet the needs of displaced families.
  • Zainab, who did not wish to give her full name, is sitting among them, holding two of her surviving three children.
  • But three of them were killed after what she says was a June 26, 2024, Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) attack on her home in Omdurman, part of the wider region of Khartoum – the capital of Sudan.

Why this matters: an international story with cross-border implications worth tracking.
