At least 31 people, including seven children and a pregnant woman, were killed and 13 others injured in artillery shelling by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on El Fasher’s Abu Shouk displacement camp in North Darfur on Saturday, volunteer groups said.
The Sudan Doctors Network called it a “heinous crime,” saying the RSF had “deliberately targeted” civilians. It warned that the ongoing siege of El Fasher has left thousands facing “slow death” due to critical shortages of medicine, food, and medical staff.
The Abu Shouk Emergency Room confirmed that the northern side of the camp came under “intense artillery shelling,” while the Coordination of Resistance Committees in El Fasher reported the attack began early morning and lasted into the afternoon, sparking panic, new displacement, and widespread destruction.
The RSF has not commented on the incident. Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF since April 2023 has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and deepened Sudan’s humanitarian crisis. El Fasher, the last major city in Darfur outside RSF control, has been under siege since May 2024.
