Eight killed Sudani paramilitary attacks throughout the night: civic bunker bombing; Targeted health worker

Sudan’s paramilitary rapid support forces (RSF) killed eight civilians when a doctor reported to AFP on Thursday, bombing a bunker that sheltered dozens of people in the surrounded city of El-Fashar.The doctor, one of the city’s final working medical facilities, anonymously speaking from the L-Fasher Teaching Hospital, said that the RSF used a drone to target the shelter late on Tuesday night. Health workers in the area have repeatedly faced hazards and have rely on satellite internet to communicate due to the ongoing communication blackout.L-Fashar, the capital of North Darfur state, is the only major city in the Darfur region, not under RSF control, despite the siege from last year. The attack is part of the RSF’s rapid campaign to seize the city after losing control from Khartum, the capital of Sudan, Khartum, the capital of Sudan in the army in March.An eyewitness confirmed AFP that the bombing shelter was protecting dozens of people. L-Fasher’s resistance committee continued the RSF artillery attacks on Wednesday.The war between the RSF and the Sudani Army, which began in April 2023, destroyed Sudan. Tens of thousands have been killed, and the country is facing the world’s worst hunger and displacement crisis. Most of Darfur is now controlled by RSF, heavy restricted with media and communication access.Estimated L-Fasher is struggling to survive with almost no access to food, water or healthcare. Important infrastructure has collapsed due to fuel deficiency and maintenance lack. The United Nations recently reported that about 40 percent of children under the age of five are suffering from acute malnutrition in L-Fasher, of which 11 percent are in critical condition.Although a formal famine declaration is not possible due to limited data, aid organizations have warned that starvation is widespread. Since the onset of the conflict, around 780,000 people have been displaced from L-Fashar and nearby camps, including 500,000 in April and May, alone during a series of RSF attacks.Sudan is now facing the largest internal displacement crisis in the world, uprooting 10 million people, about 20 percent of them are in North Darfur.
