Survivors reach Tawila after El Fasher seizure

After paramilitary fighters seized El Fasher from Sudan’s military, tens of thousands tried to flee, yet only a trickle have reached Tawila, an aid zone 40 miles away. Survivors describe roads strewn with bodies, girls dragged away, and people run over by vehicles, in accounts recorded by the Norwegian Refugee Council. Medics report arrivals with bullet wounds and signs of torture, children presumed orphaned coming with strangers, and thousands unaccounted for. The bloodshed echoes the genocidal violence that defined Darfur two decades ago, and Doctors Without Borders fears many were detained for extortion or killed.
