A drone attack on a displacement shelter in El-Fasher, Sudan results in the deaths of at least 60 individuals, prompting international concern over the humanitarian crisis in the region.

In El-Fasher, Sudan, a devastating drone strike reportedly launched by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has killed at least 60 people at a displacement camp. This attack exacerbates an ongoing humanitarian crisis in a city besieged for 17 months, leading to rampant starvation and disease among its inhabitants.

At least 60 people have been killed in a drone strike at a displacement shelter in El-Fasher, a besieged Sudanese city on the brink of collapse.

The resistance committee for El-Fasher, made up of local citizens and activists, stated that the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit the Dar al-Arqam camp, located within a university, with two drone strikes and eight artillery shells.

Children, women, and the elderly were killed in cold blood, and many were completely burned, a statement from the group said, as quoted by AFP news agency.

The RSF has surrounded El-Fasher for the last 17 months, attempting to take control of the Sudanese army's last stronghold in the Darfur region.

The situation in El-Fasher has gone beyond disaster and genocide, the resistance group said.

Hunger and disease have spread across the city, as residents contend with constant bombardment and dwindling food and medical supplies.

Sudan has been ravaged by conflict since 2023, following a power struggle between top commanders of the RSF and the Sudanese army, creating one of the worst humanitarian crises.
