A devastating assault by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the Zamzam Camp for displaced people near al-Fasher has left hundreds dead or wounded, with aid groups describing it as “a war crime and crime against humanity”.
The attack, which began on Thursday and continued through Saturday, destroyed homes, markets, and healthcare facilities, with the majority of victims being women and children.
The RSF has denied allegations of atrocities, claiming a video depicting civilian suffering was staged by the Sudanese army.
Humanitarian agencies and local leaders are calling for an immediate ceasefire and access for aid workers, as the conflict in Sudan, which erupted in April 2023, continues to devastate regions like Darfur, displacing millions and sparking widespread humanitarian concerns.
