Sudan's Zamzam refugee camp has been overrun by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), resulting in an information blackout for families struggling to learn about the safety of their loved ones. Amid calls for peace talks in London aimed at achieving a ceasefire, civilians have experienced violence reportedly leading to hundreds of deaths. Campaigners stress the necessity of restoring communication to support affected communities and enable crucial human rights documentation. Meanwhile, aid workers have also faced deadly attacks, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
"Zamzam as an IDP [internally displaced persons] camp no longer exists. The RSF has completely overrun the camp, killing, raping, burning and committing all kinds of atrocities."
"The dearth of information on the violence highlighted the need for the talks to prioritise restoring communications to allow communities under attack to warn each other."
