Overview
- WHO says more than 460 patients and companions were reportedly shot dead inside El Fasher’s Saudi Maternity Hospital on 28 October.
- The agency reports six health workers — four doctors, a nurse and a pharmacist — were abducted from the hospital the same day.
- Yale Humanitarian Lab cites satellite imagery consistent with mass fatalities, and BBC Verify reviewed videos indicating executions by RSF fighters, though on-the-ground verification remains limited.
- The RSF seized El Fasher after a prolonged siege, shifting control across Darfur and raising fears for civilians still in the city.
- WHO warns that over 260,000 people remain trapped as cholera spreads and says about 28,000 fled in recent days, with supplies staged for Tawila pending access.
