WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME DECRIES ATROCITIES IN SUDAN’S EL-FASHER AMID HUMANITARIAN CRISIS

The deputy executive director of the World Food Programme (WFP) expressed outrage over the “terrible atrocities” that recently took place in the city of el-Fasher in Sudan’s Darfur region.

Speaking from Addis Ababa, Skau said there “are needs across the country and the international community needs to step up.”

Last month, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) seized El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. They rampaged through the Saudi Hospital in the city, killing more than 450 people, according to the World Health Organization.

According to displayed residents, RSF fighters went house to house, killing civilians and committing sexual assaults.
