"The United Nations Human Rights Office in Sudan says that brutal attacks are escalating in el-Fasher after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized the city in the western region of Darfur last month. Over the past 10 days, el-Fasher has witnessed an escalation of brutal attacks. It has become a city of grief, Li Fung, the UN's human rights representative in Sudan, said in a video published on X on Saturday."
"Video footage from the aid group showed displaced people in a barren area with barely enough tents, many of them improvised from patched tarps and sheets. Rojal said that some families were surviving on just one meal a day. On Friday, Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, reported extremely high levels of malnutrition among children and adults."
Brutal attacks escalated in el-Fasher after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized the city in Darfur, forcing an estimated 82,000 of 260,000 residents to flee while many remain trapped. Hundreds were killed, including women, children and wounded people sheltering in hospitals and schools; entire families were cut down and others vanished. More than 16,000 displaced people arrived in Tawila and face dire shortages of food, medicine, shelter materials and psychological support. Displaced people live in improvised tents and many families survive on one meal a day. Malnutrition among children and adults is extremely high.
