SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune – 10 killed by RSF artillery shelling in North Darfur’s capital

31/5/2024: Sudan Tribune – 10 killed by RSF artillery shelling in North Darfur’s capital

Sudan Tribune report that at least ten were killed after intense

artillery shelling by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on densely populated neighbourhoods in El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur.  

El-Fashir has been engulfed in fierce battles between the army, supported by allied armed movements, and the RSF since 10 May 2024. As a result, there have been more than 150 deaths, around a thousand injured and over 500,000 displaced. 

The RSF targeted southern El-Fashir, including the only operational medical facility in the city. Mohamed Suleiman Hamed, a volunteer at the southern hospital, condemned the RSF’s targeting of civilian facilities, including hospitals and told Sudan Tribune that “the army leadership and the joint forces do not target hospitals.”
