RSF Strike on Al-Faschir Refugee Camp Reported to Kill at Least 60

Local activists describe a deadly attack during a protracted siege of the city.

Overview

  • The Dar al-Arkam camp on university grounds was hit overnight and into Saturday morning by two drones and multiple artillery rounds, according to the Al-Faschir resistance committee.
  • The group reports at least 60 dead, including children and women, and says some victims were burned in their shelters, figures that have not been independently verified.
  • Al-Faschir remains the army’s last major stronghold in Darfur as the RSF presses for control and residents report digging home bunkers for protection.
  • The United Nations describes Sudan as facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, with tens of thousands killed and millions displaced and widespread hunger affecting half the population.
  • In September, the United States, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt urged a three‑month truce to enable aid deliveries, but fighting has continued.
