An “unpublished report” on Darfur by a UN Security Council Panel of Experts has revealed how assaults by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) resulted in the deaths of 237 patients, Dabanga reports.

Renewed violence is said to have caused residents of a nearby camp for internally displaced people to flee once again in search of safe areas. An eyewitness told Dabanga Radio station that “bombs and missiles have been heard hitting the camp”, leading to the death and injury of many displaced people.

Meanwhile, the UN and its partners have appealed for a combined US$4.1 billion to meet the most urgent humanitarian needs of civilians in war-torn Sudan and those who have fled to neighbouring countries.
