El-Fasher, July 1(Darfur24)
8 people were killed and 12 others were seriously injured, on Monday, as Rapid Support Forces drone targeted a Mosque in the center of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur.
A medical source at the Saudi Specialized Hospital in the city of El Fasher told Darfur 24, “The hospital received wounded, including children under eight years old, and most of the injuries are serious and require quick surgeries due to severe bleeding.”
The El Fasher Resistance Committees Coordination Office reported, in a statement, that there were a number of casualties, including dead and wounded, most of them children from the same family, as a result of shells falling from a march launched by the Rapid Support Forces this morning at the Tijaniya Mosque in the Tijaniya neighborhood.
One of the eyewitnesses from El Fasher, Mustafa Muhammad, told “Darfur 24” that the victims sought refuge in the mosque for fear of the march that bombed the mosque with three shells, which led to the immediate death of 8 people and the transfer of 12 of the wounded to the hospital.
He added: “Yesterday, a 5-year-old girl was killed and her mother was injured after a march launched by the Rapid Support Forces targeted their house in the Al-Nasr neighborhood, located north of the Army Command.”
A Rapid Support march targeted Sudanese army soldiers on Saturday, killing 5 soldiers and wounding others southwest of the Abshuk camp for displaced people, north of El Fasher.
The Rapid Support Forces intensified their bombing operations through marches during the past weeks on the city of El Fasher, which witnessed combat battles for more than a month in which 2,000 people were killed and wounded and 143,000 people were displaced outside El Fasher.
