Sudan’s conflict is spiraling into one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with horrifying new reports emerging from the war-torn city of El-Fasher. Witnesses say fighters from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) burned the bodies of Sudanese soldiers and civilians after seizing control of the city on Sunday. Others recount that their children were killed and their homes looted as chaos swept through the streets. The Sudan Doctors Network reports that at least 1,500 people have been killed in the past three days, with over 2,000 civilians feared dead since the fighting intensified. Among the dead were 460 patients and medical staff at the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital, which was struck during RSF assaults. Hospitals are overwhelmed, medical supplies have run out, and many wounded remain trapped under debris. Humanitarian groups estimate that around 177,000 civilians are still stranded inside El-Fasher without access to food, water, or safe passage, while tens of thousands have fled westward to nearby towns. Satellite imagery and survivor testimonies reveal evidence of mass graves and widespread destruction. The United Nations has condemned the attacks as potential war crimes, calling for an urgent international investigation. The fall of El-Fasher marks a devastating escalation in Sudan’s civil war, as the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces battle for control — deepening fears of ethnic cleansing, famine, and total collapse of law and order across Darfur.
