Sudan’s paramilitary force has stormed displacement camps in Darfur, leaving scores dead or wounded.
An attack by Sudan's paramilitary force on the Zamzam and Abu Shorouk camps for displaced people in Darfur has reportedly left over 100 people, including 20 children, dead or wounded.
Officials said the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Sudan's rebel paramilitary group, broke through the camps' perimeter on Friday evening after hours of shelling. Fighters then destroyed hundreds of homes and the camp’s main market before targeting the last remaining medical clinic.
More than 700,000 displaced people live in the two camps, many now trapped without safe refuge.
Nine aid workers were killed while operating one of the few remaining health posts in Zamzam camp, according to officials.
The RSF has been fighting Sudan’s military since April 2023 in a conflict that has triggered the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. U.S. estimates suggest up to 150,000 Sudanese have been killed and 13 million displaced.
