ALBAWABA - The Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have intensified attacks on the Abu Shouk camp for internally displaced people, Al Jazeera reported.
The Abu Shouk camp is located on the outskirts of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state.
The RSF has been under a suffocating siege of the city since June 10, 2024, amid UN warnings of a worsening humanitarian situation and an increase in violations against civilians.
The Sudanese Armed Forces confirmed that, in coordination with the joint force of armed struggle movements and popular resistance, they were able to repel the attack launched by the RSF on the city of El Fasher and the vicinity of Abu Shouk camp, in what the military leadership described as "Battle No. 232".
In a statement to Al Jazeera Net, relief activist Youssef Adam said the situation inside Abu Shouk camp is "catastrophic by all standards" and reflects the worsening humanitarian crisis. Relief teams are facing significant difficulties in reaching those in need due to the heavy artillery shelling being launched by the Rapid Support Forces on the camp.
Abu Shouk Camp Emergency Room wrote on Facebook, "Rapid Support Forces stormed the Abu Shouk camp for internally displaced persons and took eight defenseless women, including two little girls, to unknown locations. The number of missing persons from the camp has reached more than twenty, according to our records, in addition to those we do not yet know."
It also released the names of the people who were taken by the Sudanese paramilitary force.
