Sudan's biggest refugee camp was already struck with famine. Now it's being shelled

The Zamzam refugee camp in Darfur, Sudan, with over half a million residents, has been under siege and facing daily artillery shelling for two weeks. More than 80 people have been killed and close to 400 injured, with aid groups blaming the attacks on the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a Sudanese paramilitary group. The siege has led to a humanitarian crisis, hindering aid delivery and overwhelming medical facilities. Sudan’s conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with the U.S. accusing the RSF of ethnic cleansing and war crimes. The camp is the only place in the world where famine has been declared. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has called for an immediate ceasefire, but peace talks have not been successful. Only two international aid groups are operational in the camp, facing challenges in providing medical care due to the ongoing conflict.
