“We walked for hours among the dead, stepping over bodies of people we knew.” Evidence has been emerging of ethnically motivated killings of 100s of civilians by the RSF in #ElFasher, #Sudan. Perpetrators of these crimes must be held #accountable. #Impunity must NEVER be normalised.

[Legal Action Worldwide (LAW) @LegalActionWW]

We are deeply alarmed by evidence of ethnically motivated mass killings by the RSF in El-Fasher, Sudan over the last few days. They constitute serious violations of #InternationalHumanitarianLaw & clearly amount to #WarCrimes & #CrimesAgainstHumanity. Our statement here: https://t.co/EtH3CDesJq

The @IFRC and @RedCrossUkraine are delivering generators, solar panels, emergency supplies, and cash assistance to support affected families.

However, needs are overwhelming, and international support is declining. Urgent action and long-term investment are crucial to help the most vulnerable survive this crisis.
