Many feared dead in Sudan after shelling hits crowded market

Mar 06, 2025

Khartoum [Sudan], March 6: Dozens of people in the Sudanese state of North Darfur are feared dead following heavy shelling on a camp for displaced people.
The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) attacked a crowded market at Abu Shouk, a camp on the outskirts of the city of el-Fasher, for roughly two hours on Tuesday evening, a local official told the BBC. The camp is home to over half a million displaced people and the assault on its market is the second in three days. El-Fasher is the last major town in Darfur under army control and has been under siege by the RSF for almost a year.
The camp's population are mostly Muslims, who are observing the holy month of Ramadan, and many were out shopping at the market. (Agencies)
