Up To 400 000 Displaced From Darfur Camp After Sudan Rsf Takeover: Un
Between 60 000 and 80 000 households or up to 400 000 people have been displaced from Sudans Zamzam camp in North Darfur after it was taken over by the Rapid Support Forces, according to data from the UNs International Organisation for Migration.
The RSF seized control of the camp on Sunday after a four-day assault that the government and aid groups have said left hundreds dead or wounded.
The United Nations said on Monday that preliminary figures from local sources show more than 300 civilians were killed infighting on Friday and Saturday around the Zamzam and Abu Shouk displacement camps and the town of al-Fashir in North Darfur.
This includes 10 humanitarian personnel from Relief International, who were killed while operating one of the last functioning health centres in Zamzam camp, said a UN spokesperson.
Rights groups have long warned of possible atrocities should the RSF succeed in its months-long siege of the famine-stricken camp, neighbour to the armys only remaining stronghold in the Darfur region, al-Fashir.
