The UN's food agency has warned that families trapped within the besieged Sudanese city of el-Fasher face starvation.
The World Food Programme (WFP) said it had not been able to deliver food to the city in the western Darfur region by road for more than a year.
El-Fasher has been surrounded by paramilitary fighters from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for nearly 16 months - determined to seize it from Sudan's army.
The WFP warning comes as local activists have already begun reporting deaths by starvation in the city, which is still home to about 300,000 people.
Sudan was plunged into a civil war in April 2023 after a vicious power struggle erupted between the army and its former ally, the RSF - creating one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
