Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces Kill 40 in Camp for Displaced People in Darfur

HeadlineAug 13, 2025

In Sudan, at least 40 civilians have been killed in an attack by Rapid Support Forces on a camp sheltering displaced people in Darfur. RSF fighters on Monday reportedly stormed the Abu Shouk camp — which has been devastated by famine — opening fire on homes, executing civilians; others were killed by stray bullets. This comes as cholera is ripping through displacement camps across Darfur, with hundreds of cases reported and at least 80 deaths. UNICEF says more than 640,000 children under the age of 5 are at risk of contracting the deadly infection.
