Life returns slowly to Dilling, Sudan’s second largest city in South Kordofan, after a two-year siege by paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and SPLM-N blocked supplies. The Sudanese army ended the blockade, allowing markets to reopen. Fresh vegetables like okra and potatoes are back on stalls. Yet, the city’s hospital faces severe shortages of medicine and equipment. Residents like Abdelrahman, who lost both legs due to lack of insulin, show the siege’s harsh toll. Despite army control, drone attacks happen almost daily, targeting homes and infrastructure. Maryam, a displaced mother, said, "The drones bombard and chase us like locusts," causing fires and forcing people to run. The siege lift is a small hope as Dilling struggles with rebuilding and constant aerial threats.
