Thousands of families as reported by United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have arrived in El-Fasher, seeking safety in incomplete buildings, schools, or under trees.
“We spoke to a family who told us of a girl who had walked on foot by herself from el-Fasher, was repeatedly raped along the journey, and then died of her wounds when she arrived in Tawila.”
The United Nations confirmed that it had verified 148 deaths between Thursday and Saturday alone but cautioned that the actual death toll is likely significantly higher.
