US EditionCivilians in Sudanese City El Fasher 'at Risk of Mass Killings and Starvation'
- Doctors Without Borders published a report on Thursday warning of mass killings and starvation threatening hundreds of thousands in El Fasher, North Darfur.
- The report cited escalating fighting between Sudanese army and Rapid Support Forces and fears of ethnic cleansing like June 2023 atrocities against the Masalit in West Darfur.
- MSF's conclusions draw from over 80 discussions conducted with patients and those forced from their homes, uncovering widespread violence such as looting, sexual assault, starvation, and attacks targeting health facilities.
- MSF's Mathilde Simon expressed concern that the ethnically driven mass atrocities experienced in West Darfur and Zamzam camp earlier this year could occur again in El Fasher, where nearly 1 million people rely on a single, only partially operational surgical hospital.
- The continued violence and blockades depriving civilians of food, water, and medical care highlight urgent humanitarian needs amid limited ceasefire progress and over 10 million displaced nationwide.
