Sudan’s Zamzam refugee camp has been overrun by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), leading to a devastating information blackout that leaves families in distress over the safety of their loved ones. As the RSF’s violent siege resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths, campaigners stress the urgent need for peace talks to restore communication and facilitate humanitarian aid. With limited reliable information emerging, sources indicate the dire situation in Zamzam, where atrocities are reported, and the communication barriers hinder efforts to document human rights abuses.
