57 Civilians Killed in Escalated RSF Assaults on North Darfur

Recent attacks on El-Fasher and Zamzam camp intensify violence, deepen famine, and prompt renewed international calls for action.

  • The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched coordinated assaults on El-Fasher and Zamzam displacement camp on April 11, killing 57 civilians, including women and children.
  • Heavy artillery, sniper fire, and suicide drones were used in the attacks, marking a significant escalation in the two-year conflict between the RSF and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).
  • The Zamzam camp, already suffering from famine and limited aid access, saw further devastation with civilian infrastructure destroyed and humanitarian services halted.
  • The ongoing RSF siege of El-Fasher, the last SAF-controlled state capital in Darfur, has exacerbated the region's humanitarian crisis, displacing millions and cutting off supplies.
  • Global leaders and international organizations are urging immediate intervention, including sanctions and measures to ensure civilian protection and aid delivery.
