International scrutiny deepens following famine confirmation alongside new war-crimes probes.

Overview

  • The Sudanese Doctors' Network reports a drone attack on a children's clinic in Karnoi near the Chad border, attributing it to the RSF, with women and children among the dead and five people injured, and the claims not independently verified.
  • Separate reports accuse RSF fighters of killing more than 460 patients and relatives inside a maternity clinic after seizing a city last week, with details yet to be verified by independent observers.
  • International Criminal Court prosecutors have opened investigations into possible war crimes and crimes against humanity following recent accounts of RSF atrocities.
  • The IPC confirms famine in Al-Fashir in Darfur and Kadugli in South Kordofan, and experts warn that 20 additional areas face famine risk.
  • Action Against Hunger says over 375,000 people are in the highest-level catastrophe and 21 million face hunger, and it calls for an immediate ceasefire with unrestricted humanitarian access.
