People fleeing el-Fasher for Al Dabbah tell Al Jazeera many died on the way from wounds or lack of food.
The Sudan Doctors Network accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of attempting to cover up mass killings in Darfur by burning and burying bodies following their takeover of el-Fasher. An estimated 82,000 residents fled the city amid reports of targeted ethnic violence, with many escapees recounting deaths of relatives posted on social media. Civilians, particularly from the Zaghawa ethnic group, face racial persecution, while the RSF, linked to past genocides, continues its campaign against the Sudanese army. Witnesses reported horrific acts of violence and systematic targeting based on skin color, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
