In the small town of Tawila, in Sudan’s North Darfur state, at least 10 children are dying of hunger every day.

In recent months, tens of thousands of people fleeing North Darfur’s capital, the besieged and war-torn El Fasher, about 45 miles (70km) to the east, have sought refuge in the town, overwhelming Tawila’s one functioning health clinic.
