At least 75 people were killed on Friday after a drone strike hit a mosque at a camp for displaced people in Sudan’s Darfur region, according to an aid group operating at the site.

The Emergency Response Room at Abu Shouk camp said in a statement that “the bodies were retrieved from the rubble of the mosque,” confirming the strike was carried out by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The attack occurred as the RSF intensified its offensive to drive the Sudanese army out of El-Fasher, the region’s main city.

The strike marked one of the deadliest single incidents in Sudan’s nearly three-year war, underscoring the growing use of drones in the conflict.

The attack came the same day the United Nations published a grim report detailing worsening conditions across Sudan. U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk described the conflict as “a forgotten one,” warning that atrocity crimes, including war crimes, were being committed on a massive scale.

“Sudan’s conflict is a forgotten one, and I hope that my office’s report puts the spotlight on this disastrous situation where atrocity crimes, including war crimes, are being committed,” Türk said.

The UN report noted that 3,384 civilians were killed in the first six months of 2025 alone, accounting for 80% of all civilian deaths recorded in 2024. It highlighted widespread sexual violence, indiscriminate bombings, and ethnically motivated reprisals against civilians accused of collaborating with rival factions.

Since April 2023, Sudan has been torn apart by a brutal war between the regular army and the RSF. The conflict has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and created what the UN has called one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.

The war has effectively partitioned the country: the army holds sway over the north, east, and center, while the RSF controls large swaths of the south and almost all of Darfur.

The UN report also warned of “the increasing ethnicization of the conflict,” saying it posed “grave risks for longer-term stability and social cohesion.”

Türk called for renewed international pressure on the warring parties and swift humanitarian access. “Many more lives will be lost without urgent action to protect civilians and without the rapid and unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid,” he said.

Despite repeated mediation attempts, ceasefire efforts have so far collapsed, leaving civilians trapped in a deepening cycle of violence.
