Overview
- UN human rights officials report credible accounts of summary executions, mass killings, rape, abductions and forced displacement in and around El-Fasher following the RSF takeover.
- WHO says at least 460 patients and companions were killed at the Saudi Maternity Hospital, with six health workers abducted and repeated attacks on medical facilities verified this year.
- Satellite analysis by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab identified 31 clusters consistent with human bodies, indicating mass killing has likely continued near key sites in recent days.
- IOM and aid groups estimate tens of thousands fled toward Tawila, but the Norwegian Refugee Council says fewer than 6,000 have arrived, raising fears many are trapped, captured or in hiding.
- The RSF denies orchestrating abuses and says it detained some fighters, while foreign ministers and UN agencies call for immediate access and investigations, and some US lawmakers urge a terrorist designation; the UAE rejects accusations it backs the RSF.
