At least 60 people killed at drone strike in a siege city of Sudan

At least 60 people were killed in a drone strike at an El-Fasher displacement shelter, a siered Sudanese city on the edge of the collapse.

The El-Fashire Resistance Committee, made up of local citizens and activists, said the Paraviliacs for Rapid Support (RSF) struck Dar Al-Rakam camp. It is located within a university, with two drone strikes and eight artillery shells.

“Children, women and the elderly were killed in cold blood and many of them were completely burned,” the group said in a statement, quoted by AFP news agency.

The RSF has surrounded El-Fasher in the last 17 months, in an attempt to take control of the Sudanese Army’s last fortress in the Darfur region.

The situation in El-Fasher “exceeded the disasters and the genocide,” said the resistance group.

Hunger and disease have spread throughout the city as residents are struggling with constant bombing and decreasing foods and medical supplies.

Sudan has been outraged by a conflict of 2023 after the senior RSF commanders and the Sudanese army fell and a vicious struggle for power – creating one of the oldest humanitarian crises.
