SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - RSF continues El Fasher assault, displaces thousands amid humanitarian crisis
Sudan Tribune report on the ongoing Rapid Support militia’s (RSF) siege on Al-Fashir, after it attacked several locations across the city.
The joint force of the army and allied armed movements destroyed seven RSF vehicles and killed several of their militants, alongside shooting down an RSF drone targeting their headquarters near the Abu Shouk camp for internally displaced persons.
Mohamed Abdel Rahman Alnayer, spokesperson for the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Abdelwahid Nur, reported a continuous influx of people fleeing al-Fasher towards areas controlled by the movement, many of whom are suffering from hunger and disease, with children, with dozens dying daily due to malnutrition and lack of medicine.
While the SLM-Nur is providing security and shelter for the displaced, it lacks the resources to provide adequate food and medical care due to the overwhelming numbers, Alnayer added before calling for assistance from the international community and humanitarian organisations.
