Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have killed at least 100 people, including children and aid workers, in an assault on famine-stricken camps in the Darfur region. The camps, where over 700,000 people seek shelter, have been targeted in the ongoing civil war that has killed tens of thousands and displaced millions. The conflict involves Sudan’s armed forces led by Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan against the RSF militia commanded by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, former allies turned enemies. Both sides are accused of human rights violations, with the RSF being implicated in widespread sexual violence, including child rape.
The recent attacks have worsened the already dire humanitarian situation, with a funding crisis hindering aid groups’ ability to provide crucial assistance. President Donald Trump’s freeze on foreign aid has further crippled efforts to deliver food relief to the camps, where a famine was declared in August. The situation is expected to worsen as famine spreads to other areas of Sudan due to the war and limited access to humanitarian aid.
The attacks on civilians and aid workers in Darfur have been denounced as grave violations of international humanitarian law. The international community has condemned the escalating violence and called for an immediate end to the conflict. The tragic situation highlights the urgent need for increased support and resources to address the humanitarian crisis in Sudan.
