The committee is working on documenting the damage and submitting reports to international bodies to ensure support reaches those affected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2969\" data-end=\"3161\">Despite the chaos, the Sudanese army and its allies maintain strong control over strategic locations in historic El-Fasher and surrounding areas, making daily advances across different fronts.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3163\" data-end=\"3380\"><strong data-start=\"3163\" data-end=\"3194\">Latest Military Development<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3163\" data-end=\"3380\">On Wednesday, the military media of the Sixth Division announced via Facebook that it had foiled an attempted escape by RSF fighters near the village of Tabeldiya, close to El-Fasher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3382\" data-end=\"3542\">The city reportedly witnessed intense fighting resulting in dozens of militia members being killed and three pickup trucks burned, while the rest fled westward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3544\" data-end=\"3707\">The operation was carried out in coordination with the armed forces, joint forces, police, intelligence, and popular resistance, aimed at dismantling RSF hideouts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13026\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13026\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13026 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/kl000.jpg\" alt=\"Sudan is on the brink of a humanitarian disaster after the U.S. halted vital aid, leaving millions at risk of famine amid escalating war.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/kl000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/kl000-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/kl000-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">famine risk<br \/>in Sudan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"3850\" data-end=\"4099\"><strong data-start=\"3850\" data-end=\"3881\">Supply Routes Under Dispute<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3850\" data-end=\"4099\">In related news, Sudan\u2019s Sovereign Council announced Monday that the government had approved a UN request to establish logistical supply bases in the towns of Tawila and Mellit to facilitate humanitarian operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"4101\" data-end=\"4319\">This agreement followed a phone call between Sovereign Council head Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and UN Assistant Secretary-General Tom Fletcher.
