At least 14 people were killed and several injured after Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) shelled the Abu Shouk displacement camp in North Darfur this week, according to local volunteers. This marks the second major attack on the camp in just three weeks, deepening fears for civilians trapped in the region's escalating violence.
Abu Shouk, near El-Fasher, shelters tens of thousands displaced by decades of conflict in Darfur and the current civil war. Many residents had already fled violence elsewhereโonly to face new horrors. 'This is a nightmare with no escape,' one volunteer shared anonymously.
The RSF, a paramilitary group active in Sudan's ongoing power struggle, has not claimed responsibility. The attack highlights the dire humanitarian crisis, with aid groups struggling to reach those in need amid blocked supply routes and rampant insecurity.
As global attention wavers, young activists online are amplifying calls for intervention using hashtags like #SudanCrisis. Meanwhile, families in Abu Shouk brace for more uncertainty. 'We have nowhere else to go,' said a camp resident via social media.
