UN Details Atrocities in El-Fasher as RSF Says It Detained Fighters

UN officials cite credible evidence of mass killings, pressing for unfettered humanitarian access.

Overview

  • Satellite analysis by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab points to a systematic and intentional campaign of ethnic cleansing, with evidence of mass executions near hospitals and along fortifications.
  • The World Health Organization verified that at least 460 people were killed at El-Fasher’s Saudi Maternity Hospital, previously the city’s only partially functioning hospital.
  • More than 62,000 people have fled the city since Sunday, with roughly 177,000 still trapped as access remains blocked and communications largely cut except for RSF-controlled satellite links.
  • The UN human rights office reports credible accounts of summary killings, mass rapes, kidnappings, and attacks on aid workers, and it is calling for independent, transparent investigations.
  • RSF leadership says several fighters have been arrested, including a man identified in verified videos as executing unarmed people, while truce talks remain stalled and violence is spreading into Kordofan.
