Thousands Flee Looting and Fighting as RSF Captures Key Sudanese City

HeadlineJul 01, 2024

In Sudan, the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group claims it has captured the city of Sinjah, a key state capital in southeastern Sudan. Tens of thousands of residents fled the city ahead of the RSF’s advance. Those who remain report RSF fighters have been seen widely looting homes and shops. Last week, the United Nations’ hunger monitor warned over 750,000 people in Sudan are facing “catastrophic” levels of extreme hunger, while more than 8 million face food shortages that could lead to malnutrition or even death.
