The besieged citizens of El Obeid, North Kordofan, are trapped with no avenues to escape. Over the past two days, targeted drone strikes have hit fuel stations in El Obeid and Al-Rahad, as well as a fuel truck that was travelling along a road connecting the two towns. Now water prices have skyrocketed and no one can afford local transport. Donkey carts are the only means for most. Even worse, drones are circling the skies above and no one dares leave the city for fear of targeting. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) appear to be preparing to siege the strategic capital of North Kordofan State. Civilians Ayin has spoken to fear yet another devastating raid like that seen in Wad Medani, Geneina, and El Fasher.
