Escalating violence in Sudan’s Darfur region has deepened the humanitarian crisis, with RSF attacks displacing thousands and blocking vital aid deliveries
Residents of the famine-stricken Zamzam displacement camp in Sudan are returning to al-Fashir following a surge in attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The RSF has targeted Zamzam camp as it seeks to tighten its grip on its Darfur stronghold, even as it loses territory to the army in the capital, Khartoum.
The latest clashes have reinforced battle lines between the two factions in a conflict that has pushed half of Sudan’s population into hunger and displaced more than a fifth of its people since April 2023.
Officials accuse the paramilitary group of blocking aid deliveries to al-Fashir and are urging the United Nations to take swift action.
Nearly 22 months into the war, sparked by a power struggle between the rival factions, the RSF now controls most of Darfur in western Sudan, along with large parts of the neighboring Kordofan region.
Tens of thousands have been displaced, with many seeking refuge in Zamzam, swelling the camp’s population to nearly one million, according to the International Organization for Migration.
