New testimonies from @MSF_Sudan's clinic in Tawila, which is treating the impacts of the 18-month siege on al-Fashir including 100% child malnutrition.

One man there said he saw hundreds dead on the way out - of thirst, exhaustion, and injuries.

NEW: The heartwrenching story of Ikram, her children, and orphaned grandson, who dodged rocket fire to escape al-Fashir and saw fighters kill unarmed men at close range.

Her account points to fears of ethnic retribution after the RSF takeover.
