91 civilians were killed in Sudan’s embattled city of el-Fasher over a span of 10 days last month, according to the United Nations, which accused the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of carrying out a series of deadly assaults.
The U.N. claimed that the paramilitary group repeatedly struck the city’s Daraja Oula neighborhood between September 19 and 29 with artillery, drones, and ground attacks.
Far worse than the rising death toll alone, the RSF siege has worsened already dire humanitarian conditions in the city.
A Committee to Protect Journalists report this week detailed testimony from seven reporters, including one unnamed woman who said armed men raided her home and gang-raped her.
