El-Fasher survivors tell of harrowing effort to escape RSF

Three months after el-Fasher fell to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF), survivors describe torture, ransom demands and sexual violence. Displaced families in Tawila recount killings during escape attempts and abuse in captivity. Aid groups reported over 1,000 cases of sexual violence last year.

Local NGOs have called for justice and urgent support for victims of rape, extortion and trauma.
