Heavy fighting was reported in the western and southern outskirts of El Obeid. The RSF has reportedly occupied several villages surrounding the city, leading to a fresh wave of displacement toward the city center. Local markets are facing severe shortages as the RSF maintains a blockade on the 'Sadir' road, the primary supply route from the White Nile state. Health officials in El Obeid warn of a total collapse of the healthcare system due to the lack of surgical supplies and frequent power outages caused by the destruction of local power infrastructure.
