WHO Says 460+ Killed in Al‑Fashir Hospital After RSF Seizes City

Calls for broader sanctions grow after a prolonged siege ended with the RSF taking control of El‑Fashir.

Overview

  • An emergency UN Security Council meeting was called as the UN’s Sudan coordinator cited credible reports of summary executions.
  • The Sudanese Doctors' Network says at least 1,500 unarmed civilians were killed in Al‑Fashir over three days.
  • Videos partly verified by the BBC show RSF commander Al‑Fateh Abdullah Idris boasting about mass killings and appearing to participate in executions.
  • Doctors described the Saudi Maternity Hospital as a human slaughterhouse, reporting patients, relatives and medical staff among the dead.
  • Independent verification of casualty figures is hampered by a communications collapse, while US and European actions remain limited to targeted measures.
