Overview

• An aid worker with the Emergency Response Rooms and the city’s Resistance Committees reported the attack and said 12 people were wounded.
• Accounts differ on the timing of the strike, and the Associated Press said it could not independently verify when it occurred.
• The RSF did not acknowledge the market incident on its channels but claimed advances in el-Fasher and said it was evacuating hundreds of civilians without providing evidence.
• The U.N. human rights office reports hundreds of civilian deaths in RSF attacks around el-Fasher since April 10, with the city described as the army’s last foothold in Darfur.
• Days earlier, a reported RSF strike on a mosque in the city killed at least 70 people, including worshippers and medical staff, as disease and shortages worsen across Darfur.
