"Deadly Militia Strikes Rip Through Sudan Displacement Camp, Killing at Least 60"

Sudan Displacement Camp Devastated by RSF Militia Strikes, Killing at Least 60 People A devastating drone and artillery strike by Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries on a displacement shelter in El Fasher has killed at least 60 people, including children, women, and the elderly. The attack, which hit the Dar al-Arqam shelter twice with drones and eight times with artillery shells, has been described as a "massacre" by local activists who are calling for international intervention. According to the resistance committee for El Fasher, the RSF paramilitary group carried out the strike on the displacement center, which has been under siege for over 500 days. The attack occurred in the western city of El Fasher, where civilians have been trapped and subjected to repeated bombardments by the RSF. Eyewitnesses describe the aftermath of the attack as chaotic, with many injured people left without medical attention due to the ongoing siege. "The situation is catastrophic," said a local activist who wished to remain anonymous. "We are calling on the international community to intervene and put an end to this humanitarian crisis." The incident highlights the escalating humanitarian crisis in Sudan's besieged city of El Fasher, where civilians have been trapped under siege for over 500 days. According to reports from the United Nations, over 200,000 people have been displaced due to the conflict, with many living in makeshift shelters and facing severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. The RSF's actions have been widely condemned by human rights groups and international organizations, who accuse the paramilitary group of committing war crimes. "This attack is a clear example of the RSF's disregard for civilian lives," said a spokesperson for Amnesty International. "We urge the Sudanese government to take immediate action to protect civilians and hold those responsible accountable." The current status of the displacement camp remains dire, with many residents forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing violence. The international community is calling on the Sudanese government to provide humanitarian aid and ensure the safety of civilians. As the situation in El Fasher continues to deteriorate, local activists are urging the international community to take action to prevent further atrocities. "We need the world's attention now," said the local activist. "We cannot afford to wait any longer for help." The incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Sudan, where civilians continue to bear the brunt of the conflict. As the situation remains volatile, one thing is clear: the international community must act swiftly to prevent further devastation and protect the lives of innocent civilians.
