Thousands held by paramilitary RSF in Sudan's el-Fasher: NGO
"The Sudan Doctors Network reported that 20 doctors, more than 1,470 civilians, and 907 military personnel are being held in dire conditions in multiple detention facilities in el-Fasher. The RSF has been accused of numerous crimes against humanity during the ongoing conflict in Sudan, which has now marked its third anniversary."
"The RSF is reportedly committing severe violations inside the detention centres in el-Fasher, including killings during torture and interrogation, as well as ethnically motivated killings. The network warned that the captives are subjected to grave abuses, including field executions and suffering from injuries caused by shelling without receiving medical care."
"The detention centres have faced a cholera outbreak since early February, with poor environmental conditions, a lack of clean water, and malnutrition making the spread of diseases more rampant. The capture of the doctors, alongside a critical shortage of medical supplies, has debilitated the health sector."
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are detaining over 1,470 civilians, 20 doctors, and 907 military personnel in el-Fasher under dire conditions. Reports indicate severe human rights violations, including torture, killings, and a cholera outbreak in detention facilities. The RSF's actions have contributed to a humanitarian crisis in Sudan, with hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced since the civil war began in April 2023. The health sector is critically impacted due to the capture of medical personnel and a shortage of supplies.
