At least 60 people have been killed in a drone strike at a displacement shelter in El-Fasher, a besieged Sudanese city on the brink of collapse.

The resistance committee for El-Fasher, made up of local citizens and activists, said the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) hit Dar al-Arqam camp. located within a university, with two drone strikes and eight artillery shells.

“Children, women and the elderly were killed in cold blood, and many were completely burned,” a statement from the group said, as quoted by AFP news agency.

The RSF has surrounded El-Fasher for the last 17 months, in an attempt to take control of the Sudanese army’s last stronghold in the Darfur region.

The situation in El-Fasher has “gone beyond disaster and genocide”, the resistance group said.

Hunger and disease has spread across the city, as residents contend with constant bombardment and dwindling food and medical supplies.

Sudan has been ravished by conflict since 2023, after top commanders of the RSF and Sudanese army fell out and a vicious power struggle ensued – creating one of the worst humanitarian crises.
