Overview
- Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim recounted fleeing el‑Fasher’s last functioning hospital during the Oct. 26 assault and later being captured and ransomed for $8,000.
- WHO reports RSF fighters stormed the hospital twice, killing at least 460 people and abducting six health workers during the takeover.
- UN officials say thousands of civilians were killed, estimate that roughly 40% of the city’s 260,000 residents escaped, and note many remain unaccounted for.
- Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab identified at least 150 clusters consistent with human remains and documented efforts to burn or bury evidence with RSF vehicles observed nearby.
- MSF’s Jan. 15 on‑site visit found el‑Fasher largely destroyed and nearly empty, as IOM tracked more than 106,000 displaced by late November and the ICC cited evidence of war crimes.
