RSF Seizes Control of Sudan’s Zamzam Camp in Escalating Darfur Conflict

The four-day assault has left hundreds dead, displaced tens of thousands, and drawn international condemnation for targeting civilians and aid workers.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have claimed full control of the Zamzam displacement camp in North Darfur after a multi-day assault involving ground and aerial attacks.
Humanitarian organizations report widespread destruction of shelters, markets, and healthcare facilities, forcing tens of thousands of civilians to flee to El Fasher, North Darfur's capital.
Aid workers, including nine medical personnel from Relief International, were executed during the RSF's attack, which has been denounced as a violation of international humanitarian law.
The RSF alleges the camp was being used as a military base by Sudanese Armed Forces, while rights groups and local officials accuse the RSF of deliberately targeting civilians.
The Sudanese government and international organizations have condemned the attacks, calling for urgent intervention to address the worsening humanitarian crisis affecting millions in Darfur.
