Overview
- Satellite analysis by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab identified at least 31 clusters consistent with human bodies around El-Fasher this week, indicating that mass killing is continuing.
- The World Health Organization reported attacks on health care and estimated about 460 people were killed at the Saudi Maternity Hospital, with multiple assaults on facilities and medics abducted.
- The UN human rights office cited credible accounts of summary executions, sexual violence, abductions and forced displacement, with videos and survivor testimony corroborating abuse in and around the city.
- More than 62,000 to over 65,000 people have fled on foot toward Tawila in recent days as others remain trapped, after the city’s fall gave the RSF control of all five Darfur state capitals.
- The UN Security Council condemned the assault and demanded accountability and unhindered aid access, foreign ministers called for an immediate ceasefire, and the RSF said it detained several fighters linked to abuses.
