"The situation in El Fasher is horrific, and we condemn the mass killings of civilians in the strongest possible terms," said a senior UN official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "The external supply of arms to the Rapid Support Forces is a major concern, and we urge all parties to respect human rights and international law."
