The humanitarian crisis in Darfur is reaching alarming levels. According to recent reports from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, between August 11 and 20, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have killed roughly 90 civilians in western Sudan, in what has been described as a series of massacres. These incidents occurred mainly in the Abu Shouk camp and in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, which is currently under the control of the national army.
Of the 89 documented killings, 16 were classified as extrajudicial executions, with the displaced persons camp being the site with the highest number of victims. A clear ethnic dimension has been detected in some of the crimes, raising fears of a possible escalation of communal violence. In Abu Shouk, most of the victims belonged to the Zaghawa tribe, while one man was shot after being identified as part of the Berti tribe.
The UN spokesperson has labeled these killings as serious violations of international humanitarian law, emphasizing that they must cease immediately. The situation is further complicated by the abduction of at least 40 displaced men during the recent attacks, increasing the urgency for humanitarian aid in El Fasher. The region faces a growing risk of famine, exacerbated by a year of siege, while a UN humanitarian convoy was also recently attacked.
In terms of health, the spread of cholera worsens the crisis. The World Health Organization has reported over 100,000 infections and more than 2,700 deaths in at least 18 Sudanese states since July 2024. Children under five are the most affected, in a context where up to 38% of health facilities are non-operational due to the conflict and displacement. Childhood vaccination rates have dropped drastically, and acute malnutrition has increased, with around 20,000 children admitted for this cause so far this year. The recent rise in attacks on medical facilities nationwide has jeopardized assistance for those who need it most.
