Hanadi Dawood managed a health center in Zamzam, Sudan, where poverty's lethal impact was acute. The area, housing 500,000 residents, faced a heavy artillery assault from the Rapid Support Forces. Witnesses reported teenage girls being taken by RSF troops, while the camp's defenses crumbled under heavy attack. The RSF set fire to homes, particularly targeting the Zaghawa tribe, leading to horrific fatalities. The situation exemplifies a dire humanitarian crisis, further underscored by the alarming presence of armed forces threatening the vulnerable population.
Inside Zamzam you'd find one of if not the most vulnerable populations on the planet, says a UN war crimes investigator, requesting anonymity.
Outside Zamzam, the notorious Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group was massing on three sides, preparing for a possible ground assault.
Attacking on multiple fronts, RSF units breached the camp's defensive berm.
Sixty homes belonging to the ethnic Zaghawa tribe were set ablaze. Women were shot as they fled.
