In the dusty, war-ravaged outskirts of North Darfur, a mother at the Zamzam camp cradles her emaciated child, her eyes hollow with exhaustion and fear. Fatima, a 32-year-old widow, once led a simple but stable life, selling groceries at a local market in El Fasher, the besieged capital of her homeland.
Today, her life, like those of nearly 25.6 million other Sudanese, is a daily struggle for survival, uncertain where their next meal will come from.
