Overview

  • The Sudan Doctors Network said at least 31 people, including seven children and a pregnant woman, were killed and 13 wounded when RSF artillery bombarded the famine-stricken Abu Shouk camp early Saturday.
  • Agence France-Presse reported a separate shelling in El-Fasher that left 17 civilians dead and 25 injured, underscoring conflicting casualty figures amid restricted access.
  • Humanitarian groups note Abu Shouk and Zamzam camps have endured repeated RSF assaults this year under a siege imposed since May 2024.
  • Aid workers warn that blockaded supply routes have depleted food stocks, medicine and medical personnel, forcing displaced families toward extreme survival measures.
  • The United Nations and the ICC have flagged possible war crimes and genocide risks, but ongoing frontline fighting and access constraints impede independent monitoring and relief efforts.
