Satellite images and verified videos reviewed by Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab indicate door-to-door mass killings as RSF took control of El Fasher in Darfur. Analysts observed clusters of body-sized objects with bloodlike discoloration across neighborhoods, a hospital, and city outskirts, often beside RSF vehicles, appearing within 72 hours. HRL also reports signs of executions at Saudi Hospital and civilians killed while fleeing. SAF bases appear abandoned after a mass vehicle departure amid a long siege that has cut the city off. Researchers warn of a systematic, block-by-block campaign they fear is accelerating.
