"Satellites show one camp spanning 500,000 square metres near the city of al-Dabba, as tens of thousands seek refuge. Several displacement camps have emerged and are quickly filling with people who fled Sudan's devastated and largely emptied city of el-Fasher, which the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized in an atrocity-ridden campaign in October. One camp has been established in the small town of Qarni, northwest of el-Fasher, according to satellite images reviewed by Al Jazeera's Sanad agency."
"An even larger camp for the displaced from el-Fasher has expanded in Sudan's Northern State, about 700km (435 miles) away. El-Afadh camp, near the city of al-Dabba, now covers at least 500,000 square metres (0.2sq miles), after growing 370,000 square metres (0.14sq miles) since November 19, according to satellite data analysed by Sanad. The imagery confirms the flow of tens of thousands of newly displaced people from the latest chapter of Sudan's 32-month brutal war."
Satellite imagery shows multiple displacement camps filling rapidly with people who fled el-Fasher after the RSF seized the city in October. El-Afadh camp near al-Dabba now covers about 500,000 square metres after expanding 370,000 square metres since November 19. A camp in Qarni northwest of el-Fasher grew by 13,000 square metres between December 14 and 29 to about 199,000 square metres. The UN reports 107,000 people displaced from el-Fasher and surrounding areas since late October. Survivors report ethnically motivated mass killings, sexual assaults and detentions. UN aid workers found el-Fasher largely deserted and bearing hallmarks of a crime scene. Medical volunteers at al-Dabba describe scarce resources and thousands of traumatised refugees.
