At least 60 people were killed when a drone operated by Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces struck a displacement camp in the besieged city of El-Fasher in western Sudan, a local activist group said Saturday.

The resistance committee for El-Fasher said the Rapid Support Forces hit the Dar al-Arqam displacement centre on the grounds of a university.

Bodies remained trapped in underground shelters, the committee said in a statement, describing it as a "massacre" and calling on the international community to intervene.

The local resistance committees are activists who coordinate aid and document atrocities in the Sudan conflict.

The RSF has been at war with the regular army since April 2023. The conflict has killed tens of thousands of people, displaced millions and pushed nearly 25 million into acute hunger.
