Mass Burials Discovered in Sudan’s Darfur Region

Satellite images analyzed on Wednesday show mass burials taking place in el-Fasher, Sudan’s Darfur region after the Rapid Support Forces seized control, highlighting the extent of the violence in the city. Despite international outrage over the two-year war in Sudan, violence continues to escalate. Local media and the United Nations reported a drone strike targeting a funeral in el-Obeid, resulting in the deaths of at least 40 people. The Yale School of Public Health’s Humanitarian Research Lab analyzed images of el-Fasher showing mass graves being dug and covered at two sites in the city, indicating a deepening crisis.
