Few outsiders, if any, have ventured more widely into the centre of Sudan’s brutal civil war than Jérôme Tubiana. The French humanitarian has been granted unprecedented access to travel throughout the western region of Darfur to document the heart of a conflict that has created the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophe. His powerful images offer insights into a gruelling war that shows no sign of abating, but where hope endures that one day the killing might stop

Women and children hide beneath a tree in the North Darfur village of Um Baru to escape being spotted by a drone. For five hours the drone hovered above them, dropping a string of bombs that killed villagers. Here, anxious mothers comfort their terrified daughters as the attack drone buzzes overhead.
