Witnesses told the AP that #RSF fighters—on foot, riding on camels, or in vehicles—went from house to house, beating & shooting people, including women & children. Many died of gunshot wounds in the streets, some while trying to flee to safety, witnesses said.

“It was a like a killing field,” Tajal-Rahman, a man in his 50s, said over the phone from the outskirts of Tawila. “Bodies everywhere & people bleeding & no one to help them.”

"In at least four cases, we see discolouration of the ground around these objects and the colour of the discolouration is red - we believe that's consistent with individuals who have bled out onto the ground."

The RSF has repeatedly denied allegations that it is harming civilians.

"We see clear evidence of house-to-house clearance operations, particularly in the Darajula neighbourhood near Saudi Hospital - with what appears to be piles of objects consistent with human remains between 1.5 to two metres in length," Nathaniel Raymond, executive director of Yale's Humanitarian Research Lab told BBC Newshour.

Trapped civilians are being refused safe passage out of el-Fasher, says the UN, and the lucky few who do escape are walking seven days to the nearest aid camp in many cases.

"These people are... malnourished - whether children or adults, dehydrated, some of them injured, and of course, all of them traumatised by the violence," Denise Brown, the UN’s Resident Coordinator for Sudan, tells BBC Newsday.
