In Sudan, more details have emerged following a Rapid Support Forces attack on North Darfur’s Zamzam displacement camp last week, with survivors describing mass looting and the burning of homes as bullets rained down on civilians. RSF fighters captured the camp, killing at least 300 people and forcing another 400,000 to flee as they face famine. These are two of the survivors.

Najlaa Ahmed: “There were people who died on this road because of thirst and hunger. Some people just died. Now, I don’t know what’s become of my mother, father, brother, siblings and my grandmother. I came here with strangers. Thank God, I came with them.”

Ahmed Mohamed: “We are in need of everything a human needs, whether flour, rice, pasta, sugar, anything, also blankets and covers to sleep on. We are sleeping on the bare ground.”

RSF fighters have also reportedly placed checkpoints around Zamzam and other displacement camps in Darfur, leaving many without safe shelter or access to food and water. The Trump administration’s cuts to U.S. foreign aid have exacerbated the humanitarian catastrophe, pushing thousands of civilians, including children, to the brink of starvation.
