Flattened houses and rubble where a school once stood: These are the scenes that have appeared in footage of the Sudanese city of el-Obeid published by Ayin Network, a nonpartisan Sudanese media outlet.
Drone attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have caused enormous damage to civilian infrastructure, including power grids, transformers, water treatment plants, schools, universities and hospitals in the capital of North Kordofan.
The local population is struggling to survive, according to Ahmed Awad, a native of el-Obeid and a project manager for children's rights organization Plan International there.
The city — whose population previously numbered half a million but has now become home to several hundred thousand people who are displaced — is under siege, he added.
