Displaced people who have arrived in El Obeid, North Kordofan, describe being forced from their homes amid fighting between the Sudanese army and the RSF. One woman says RSF fighters ordered her family to leave their village at night.

She travelled for more than 12 hours with her two daughters, leaving her belongings behind while her husband stayed behind. Another displaced man says RSF fighters surrounded his village, assaulted residents, looted money and livestock, and killed people in his village and a neighbouring village.
