Paramilitary group in Sudan shells famine-stricken camp in Darfur, killing 31 people
The Rapid Support Forces targeted a camp amid a civil war that displaced millions and caused severe malnutrition, with at least 31 killed in the latest artillery assault, aid groups reported.
- On Saturday, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces launched an attack on the Abu Shouk displacement camp near El-Fasher, which is suffering from famine, resulting in the deaths of at least 31 people.
- This attack followed a wider conflict since April 2023 between Sudan's army and the RSF, rooted in a power struggle between their commanders.
- El-Fasher and its camps face a severe humanitarian crisis complicated by malnutrition deaths, a sweeping cholera outbreak, and critical shortages of food and medicine.
- In El-Fasher, close to two out of every five children under the age of five are suffering from acute malnutrition, staple food costs have soared by as much as 460 percent, and a cholera outbreak resulted in more than 40 fatalities just last week.
- The prolonged conflict and assaults have caused the displacement of millions, severely damaged infrastructure, and worsened what the United Nations describes as the most severe displacement and food insecurity emergency globally.
