57 killed in Sudan’s Darfur as trapped civilians fear bloodbath

Clashes between Sudanese paramilitaries and the army in El-Fasher have resulted in at least 57 civilian deaths, as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) intensify their assault on the city, which has been besieged for nearly a year. The UN reports that the RSF killed over 400 individuals in recent attacks on El-Fasher and nearby camps, with UNICEF warning that 825,000 children are trapped in dire conditions. Amidst ongoing violence, displaced residents face imminent danger, and aid workers highlight the critical lack of medical facilities and resources for the injured.
