Sudanese women displaced from provincial capital of North Darfur described harrowing experiences as they fled from bombing and gunfire.
The city of al-Fashir was captured by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF)s on Sunday after an 18-month siege.
Witnesses said that during the assault RSF fighters went from house to house, beating and shooting people, including women and children.
The United Nations migration agency estimates that over 26,000 residents managed to flee al-Fashir.
They arrived exhausted and dehydrated in the nearby town of Tawila, around 60 kilometres west of the city.
