In Sudan, more than 200 civilians were killed by paramilitaries in a wave of attacks in displacement camps around the city of El Fasher, the last big city still in the hands of the Sudanese army in the Darfur region. The deaths include at least 56 civilians killed by the Rapid Support Forces over two days of attacks in Um Kadadah, a town they seized on the road to El Fasher.
The UN said killings were continuing at two large displacement camps, including the entire medical staff of Relief International, which was operating the only remaining clinic inside Zamzam camp. The US has condemned both sides in the war, saying the RSF has committed genocide in Darfur and that the army has attacked civilians.
The conflict has essentially divided Sudan in two, with the army holding sway in the north and east while the RSF controls most of Darfur and parts of the south.
