The situation in North Sudan is worsening each day after the RSF took over El-Fasher city, massacring 460 people on Sunday, a UN spokesperson has said.
Hundreds of displaced people have arrived in the city of Al-Dabba after travelling more than 1,200 kilometres, coming from El-Fasher in North Darfur amid dire conditions.
The UN sources said on Tuesday that about 62,000 people fled El-Fasher after the RSF launched a deadly attack on the hospital last week.
They said thousands of people remain under siege and at the mercy of the RSF forces. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Idris Kamil urged the international community to intervene in resolving the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the country.
Medical group Doctors without Borders (MSF) has called on the RSF and allied armed groups to immediately allow civilians to leave Sudan's El-Fasher city, as conditions in the North Darfur capital are deteriorating, with abuses against residents escalating.

In a statement on X, head of mission Michel Olivier Lacharite said, “We urgently call on the RSF and allied armed groups to spare civilians and let them flee El-Fasher.”
He urged the QUAD, the US, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Egypt to use their leverage to "stop the bloodbath” in the city.
More than 150,000 people have died in the conflict across the country, and about 15 million have fled their homes in what the United Nations has called the world's largest humanitarian crisis.
Since April 15, 2023, the Sudanese army and the RSF have been locked in a war that regional and international mediations have failed to address.
