At least 14 people were killed and multiple others injured after Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) shelled the Abu Shouk displacement camp in North Darfur on Wednesday, according to local volunteer rescuers. This marks the second major assault on the camp in three weeks, intensifying fears for the safety of tens of thousands sheltering there.
The Abu Shouk camp, located near El-Fasher, North Darfur's capital, hosts families displaced by decades of regional conflicts and the ongoing civil war. Survivors described chaotic scenes as artillery fire struck residential areas, with volunteers scrambling to evacuate the wounded amid limited medical resources.
Analysts warn that repeated attacks on displacement camps risk exacerbating one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises. The RSF, a paramilitary group engaged in a prolonged power struggle with Sudan's national army, has not publicly commented on the incident.
