Overview
- WHO confirmed more than 460 patients and companions were killed at El Fasher’s Saudi Maternity Hospital, with health workers reported detained.
- Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab and AP analysis of satellite imagery and videos identified signs consistent with executions, grouped bodies, and detainees at multiple sites in the city.
- The army-allied Joint Forces accused the RSF of executing over 2,000 unarmed civilians on Oct. 26–27, a figure not independently verified.
- IOM’s displacement tracker reported at least 33,000 people fled El Fasher in recent days, as humanitarian access remained constrained and routes out of the city were reported dangerous.
- Accusations of external backing intensified as Sudanese officials and diplomats blamed the UAE for supporting the RSF, a claim the Gulf state has denied, following the collapse of US-sponsored talks.
