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.
