Sudan: RSF kill eight people in attack on displacement camp

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have shelled a displacement camp in Sudan’s Darfur region, killing eight civilians and injuring others, according to Asharq Al-Aswat on July 17^th.

The assault was on Abu-Shouk camp, which shelters tens of thousands of displaced people surrounding the city of El-Fasher – the capital of North Darfur which has been besieged by the RSF since May 2024.

“The Abu Shouk camp witnessed heavy artillery bombardment by the RSF… killing eight people,” the Emergency Response Room of the camp outlined in a statement. The region in which the assault took place is already gripped by famine, predominantly in displacement camps, compounding the suffering of civilians.
