At Least 60 Killed by Paramilitary Attacks on Besieged City in Sudan’s North Darfur

HeadlineOct 13, 2025

In news from Sudan, at least 60 people were killed on Saturday when drone and artillery strikes by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces hit a camp for displaced people in the besieged city of El Fasher in North Darfur. The dead included at least 17 children, including a 7-day-old infant. Last week, the RSF shelled a maternity ward of one of the last remaining hospitals in El Fasher, killing 13 people. More than 12 million people have been displaced by Sudan’s civil war, which has triggered widespread famine, making it one of the worst humanitarian crises of the 21st century.
