At least seven people have been killed and 59 others injured in an attack by the Movement Support Forces (RSF) on a refugee camp in El Fasher, North Darfur in Sudan.
Ibrahim Khatir, Director General of the Ministry of Health of North Darfur announced the news and added that the attack was carried out against the Abu Shouk camp and continued for two days. Two people were killed yesterday Sunday and five others were killed yesterday Monday. The director of the Ministry of Health of North Darfur in Sudan added that 20 people were injured in the attack on Sunday and 39 others were injured yesterday Monday.
On the other hand, the Sudanese Doctors Network; which is a non-governmental organization, has condemned the shelling attacks in civilian areas and said that the attacks are increasing the suffering of people who have fled their homes and are already suffering from the dire conditions associated with the continued endless war in the country.
The fight for power between the military generals who lead two groups, namely the Sudanese Army (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has flared up in El Fasher since May 10. The town has three refugee camps. One of those camps is Abu Shouk which has around 1.5 million refugees. Eight hundred thousand of these refugees are internal refugees. That is according to United Nations statistics.
Sudan has experienced a major conflict between the SAF and the RSF since April 15, 2023. Approximately 20,000 people have been killed and millions of others have become refugees inside and outside Sudan.
