Sudan Events – Agencies
Residents of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, continued fleeing their homes as fighting between the army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and their allies escalated, with the use of heavy weapons, including airstrikes and artillery.
Eyewitnesses told Sudan Tribune that “the flight of El Fasher’s residents increased as the battles in the city intensified.”
The International Organization for Migration (IOM), a UN agency, reported on Sunday that 350 families had been displaced from El Fasher between November 7 and 9 due to ongoing clashes in the eastern and southeastern neighborhoods.
The organization stated that most families have moved to sites within the El Fasher locality, and to Tawila and Kabkabiya in North Darfur, as well as across the border into Chad. The reports also mentioned casualties and injuries among civilians.
