RSF Accused of Mass Killings in El-Fasher

Since seizing El-Fasher, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been accused of widespread atrocities including mass executions and attacks on hospitals, with reports of hundreds killed at the Al‑Saudi maternity hospital. The United Nations cited more than 460 deaths at the maternity hospital, while local and humanitarian sources estimate up to about 2,000 killed in El-Fasher overall. Satellite imagery has shown clusters consistent with bodies outside medical facilities, and survivors report looting, summary executions and other abuses amid an RSF-enforced communications blackout after the takeover. The violence has driven roughly 30,000–36,000 people from their homes, creating urgent needs for shelter, food, water and protection. International actors including the UN and EU have condemned the attacks as grave violations of humanitarian law and called for immediate de-escalation and renewed talks, while RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo said he would form an investigation committee.
