What happened
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) carried out attacks—artillery shelling, drone strikes, and ground incursions—in several neighbourhoods of El Fasher, especially Daraja Oula, which shelters many internally displaced persons from the Abu Shouk IDP camp.
A drone strike on a mosque on 19 September killed at least 67 civilians.
On 30 September, a community kitchen in Abu Shouk neighbourhood was shelled, reportedly killing 23 people.

Key concerns raised
These attacks are said to target civilian infrastructure deliberately, sparking fears the aim is forcible displacement, including from camps such as Abu Shouk.
UN Human Rights Chief Volker TΓΌrk warned of imminent risk of "large-scale atrocities" if measures are not taken.
Vulnerable groups—elderly, people with disabilities, chronically ill—are at particular risk, especially those unable to leave the city.

Humanitarian & legal implications
There are accusations that these patterns of attack might violate international humanitarian law: targeting civilians, attacking places of worship, community kitchens, IDP sites.
The siege of El Fasher (ongoing for over 500 days) has severely limited access to food, medicine, safe shelter, fuelling fears of starvation, disease, and further civilian casualties. "
