In satellite imagery collected on 27 October 2025, clusters of dark colored objects consistent with people create a large queue outside the former Children's Hospital, stretching from the building to the gate of the compound. Across the street, a new cluster of white objects appear that are not seen in prior imagery collected on 26 October. In imagery collected on 28 October 2025, dark colored objects of a similar size and color as the queue seen in previous imagery now appear tightly grouped together. In the same image, a new set of light-colored objects appears in the southeast corner of the compound. Across the street, the object cluster appears to grow in number.

Overview

  • Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab identified at least 31 clusters consistent with bodies in and around El-Fasher from Oct. 27–31, indicating mass killing likely continues after the city’s capture.
  • Verified videos show RSF fighters executing unarmed captives; the RSF says it detained several suspects, including a commander known as Abu Lulu, though UN officials question the group’s willingness to investigate abuses.
  • UN human rights officials report testimonies of summary executions, sexual violence and forced displacement, with estimates that hundreds were killed during and after the takeover and along exit routes.
  • WHO cites reports of killings inside medical facilities and attacks on health workers, estimating 460 patients and companions killed, six health workers abducted, and 189 verified attacks on health care across Sudan this year.
  • The UN Security Council condemned the RSF assault and urged protection of civilians; German, Jordanian and UK ministers called for an immediate ceasefire, and the UK announced £5 million in aid, including support for survivors of sexual violence.
