The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have bombed the Zamzam camp for displaced people in North Darfur, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis. Located 15 kilometers south of Al Fasher, the camp is home to over half a million displaced individuals, many of whom fled violence since the conflict's onset in 2003. The attack occurred shortly after the arrival of humanitarian aid, highlighting the precarious situation faced by the residents. Governor Minni Arko Minawi condemned the RSF's actions, which he described as targeting the camp's residents on racial and ethnic grounds, and expressed deep concern for the safety of the displaced.
The Coordination of Resistance Committees in El Fasher reported that the camp was subjected to artillery shelling, with at least 10 missiles hitting the area, resulting in injuries and fatalities. The situation is compounded by a lack of media coverage and disrupted communications, leaving the camp in a state of terror. The humanitarian conditions in Zamzam are critical, with residents struggling to access food, water, and medical care due to insufficient aid and services. The harsh winter threatens the displaced, who lack adequate shelter and heating.
