Sudan's RSF Attacks Zamzam Refugee Camp, Escalating Violence in Darfur
The paramilitary group's assault has killed civilians, destroyed critical infrastructure, and worsened famine in the region.
- The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched attacks on Zamzam camp, killing at least seven people and injuring dozens, according to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
- Half of Zamzam's central market was destroyed in arson attacks, verified by satellite imagery and humanitarian reports.
- The RSF claims the camp is a military base, but Yale researchers and experts suggest the attacks align with ethnic cleansing and genocide.
- The violence has worsened an already dire famine, with 34% of children in Zamzam suffering from acute malnutrition as humanitarian aid is blocked.
- Calls for international intervention and a UN arms embargo have intensified as the RSF continues to restrict escape routes and aid access.
