Overview
- The Human Rights Council adopted by consensus a resolution directing the Independent International Fact‑Finding Mission for Sudan to urgently investigate El‑Fasher, identify suspected perpetrators where possible, and preserve evidence for future prosecutions.
- UN rights chief Volker Türk and mission members reported mass killings, ethnically targeted executions, widespread sexual violence, abductions for ransom, and attacks on health workers since the Rapid Support Forces seized the city.
- The World Health Organization says more than 450 people were killed in an assault on El‑Fasher’s Saudi Hospital, and investigators described much of the city as a crime scene.
- Roughly 90,000 to nearly 100,000 people have fled toward areas such as Tawila, with aid agencies warning of famine‑like conditions and severe malnutrition among new arrivals.
- The RSF denies targeting civilians or blocking aid, Sudan renews accusations that the UAE supports the paramilitary as the UAE rejects the claims, and officials warn of violence spreading to Kordofan alongside a growing risk of genocide.
