Overview

• UN rights chief Volker Türk reported 53 civilian deaths over three days from RSF drone and artillery strikes in el-Fasher and the nearby displaced persons camp.
• More than a dozen people were killed at one of the last functioning hospitals and a nearby mosque, while UNFPA said 12 died in the Saudi hospital’s maternity ward earlier in the week.
• The UN humanitarian office said RSF fighters opened fire on the Saudi hospital and a local mosque that sheltered displaced families, drawing strong condemnation from UN agencies.
• The city has been under siege for over a year with severely limited medical capacity, and the UN estimates about 260,000 civilians remain trapped as hundreds of thousands have fled to Tawila.
• UN officials cited reports of at least seven summary executions during ground raids and warned that aid operations are critically underfunded as they seek access to the city.
