OHCHR: Only hunger-bombs for civilians in Sudan’s El Fasher

Shafaqna English- UN’s Human Rights Chief Volker Türk expressed outrage over a deadly large-scale attack by the Rapid Support Forces militia on El Fasher.

At least 57 civilians were killed in the attack, which included the Abu Shouk displacement camp on the outskirts of the city, and UN’s human rights office, OHCHR, is also following up on allegations of summary executions there.

“It is with dismay that we yet again witness an unimaginable horror inflicted upon civilians in El Fasher, who have endured over a year of siege, persistent attacks, and dire humanitarian conditions,” said Mr Türk.

“Such repeated attacks on civilians, which raise serious concerns under international humanitarian law, are unacceptable and must stop.”
