In Sudan, thousands have been forced to flee West Darfur as the Rapid Support Forces militia makes major advances in the region, seizing cities from the Sudanese army. CNN reports the RSF is killing and torturing various ethnic groups. Fighting between the country’s military and the RSF broke out on April 15 in Khartoum and has since spread. At least 10,000 civilians have been killed, and many more injured. The U.N. says 4.5 million have been internally displaced, while over 1.2 million have fled Sudan, many of them crossing into Chad.

Asiya: “They told me that my brother was killed, and we do not know where he is. I, my mother and my sister’s children came to Chad. We don’t know where my father is. We couldn’t find him. They burned everything and took everything. We did not bring anything with us — only God and our clothes.”

The U.N. warns the conflict could soon engulf South Sudan and the disputed Abyei region.

Sudan’s health system is “stretched to breaking point” as four out of five health facilities have stopped functioning in some areas. Cholera, measles, dengue and malaria are quickly spreading, as is malnutrition. The warring parties met for talks in Saudi Arabia this week, where they agreed to help facilitate humanitarian aid access, but did not agree to a ceasefire.
