A drone strike targeting a shelter for displaced persons in El-Fasher, a besieged city in Sudan that is on the verge of collapsing, has killed at least 60 people. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked the Dar al-Arqam camp within a university with two drone strikes and eight artillery shells, according to the El-Fasher resistance organization, which is composed of activists and local residents.
Children, women, and the elderly were killed in cold blood, and many were completely burned,” the group claimed in a statement to the AFP news agency. For the past 17 months, the RSF has encircled El-Fasher in an effort to seize the last remaining stronghold of the Sudanese army in the Darfur region.
The situation in El-Fasher has “gone beyond disaster and genocide”, the resistance group said. As the city’s inhabitants struggle with ongoing bombing and running out of food and medical supplies, hunger and sickness have spread throughout the city.
Following a savage power struggle between the top commanders of the RSF and the Sudanese army, which resulted in one of the greatest humanitarian catastrophes, Sudan has been engulfed in violence since 2023.
