More than 100 civilians, at least 20 children and a medical team working for a humanitarian beneficiary organization, was killed in a series of attacks that began Friday in the West Darfur region, the United Nations (UN) said.

For attacks – to the city of El Fasher and two nearby camps where people who were forced from civil war were forced to leave their homes – the paramilitary for rapid support (RSF). Camps, Zamzam and Abu Shouk, provide a temporary home for more than 700,000 people, many of which are facing conditions like hunger, states BBC.

News on attacks come on the eve of the second anniversary of the civil war between the RSF and the Army.

UN Humanitarian coordinator in Sudan, Clementine Nkweta-Salami, said “was” disgusted and severely upset with “reports of what happened.

“This represents another deadly and unacceptable escalation in a series of brutal attacks on displaced persons and humanitarian workers,” she added in a statement.

The RELIEF International Humanitarian Organization announced that nine her workers were mercilessly killed, including doctors, drivers and team leaders, in attack on Zaman.

A charitable organization, which warned that she was the last provider of critical health services in the camp, stated that RSF fighters were wrong.

“We understand that this was a targeted attack on all health infrastructure in the region to prevent internally displaced persons. We are terrible that one of our clinics was also part of this attack – together with other health institutions in EL-Fasher,” the organization stated.

Continuing BBC on Sunday morning, one resident of posters who works in public cuisine that provides food for those in the camp, said the situation is “extremely catastrophic.”

“We have lost a large number of young people, those who worked in public cuisine were killed, and doctors who were part of the hospital opening initiative,” said 34-year-old Mustafa in audioporuci via WhatsApp.

“My uncle and bine was killed, people were wounded, there are no drugs or hospitals, people die from bleeding. Shelling still lasts, and in the morning we expect new attacks,” it is also stated in the message.

He added that all roads from the camp were closed and surrounded with all four directions.

War – the struggle for the power between the army and RSF – was created by the world’s largest humanitarian crisis, forcing more than 12 million people to leave their homes and pushing communities in hunger. 15. April 2023 began, after the leaders of the army and RSF had quarreled around the country’s political future. El-Fasher is the last larger city in Darfur under the army control and was under the siege of the RSF for almost a year.
