12 people were killed in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, on Sunday evening due to artillery shelling by the Rapid Support Forces , which has besieged the city for more than a month. In an attempt to alleviate the severe medical shortage in El Fasher, the National Medical Supplies Fund airdropped medicines into the city.
The resident added that large waves of people are fleeing the city due to arbitrary shelling of homes across various neighbourhoods."Security conditions outside El Fasher are deteriorating, with fleeing civilians being exposed to robbery attempts. They are trapped and unsure where to go amidst the ongoing battles and deteriorating security conditions," he said.
Violent battles occurred in El Zurug and Wadi Ambar, areas hosting significant RSF military bases, on Saturday and Sunday. Videos shared on social media showed the aftermath of fierce battles, including destroyed cars and bodies on the ground. The medicines airdropped in El Fasher included intravenous solutions, surgical sutures, empty syringes, cannulae, anaesthetics, and antibiotics."Preparations are underway to send more life-saving medicines, such as those for dialysis, kidney surgery, malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDS. The operation was deemed a great success without significant losses."
