Doctors Without Borders and UN Report Reveal Details of Sudan Atrocities
The international medical humanitarian association Doctors Without Borders reported that people in Fashir are desperately trying to flee the city. Yesterday, they monitored 300 individuals arriving in Tayla, a region in northern Darfur, Sudan.
The organization urged rapid response forces once again to allow more civilians to pass through siege lines, amid reports of people being trapped and detained at checkpoints outside Fashir in exchange for bribes.
According to their report, levels of malnutrition among both children and adults in Fashir have escalated significantly.
Meanwhile, United Nations experts stated that rapid response forces have committed mass atrocities and systematic sexual violence in Fashir, located in North Darfur.
The experts noted that on October 23rd-after a 540-day siege-rapid response forces seized control of Fashir and carried out widespread crimes.
The UN specialists expressed grave concern over reports that 460 patients and their caregivers were killed at Saudia women’s Hospital and other healthcare facilities in Fashir.
More than 6,000 pregnant women in Fashir reportedly lack access to medical care or reproductive health services.
The United Nations emphasized witness testimonies confirming that sexual violence was used as a weapon of humiliation and involved group assaults against at least 25 women and girls within the city.
UN experts condemned credible reports of ethnically motivated summary executions targeting civilians by rapid response forces in Fashir.
The report states that Sudanese from Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa ethnic groups have been deliberately targeted-including through sexual violence-as part of an intimidation campaign aimed at forcing them out of Fashir.
The United Nations expressed deep alarm over impending famine risks not only in Fashir but also Kadugli city. This development threatens to worsen Sudan’s devastating humanitarian crisis significantly.
