CNN —Residents of El Geneina, the capital of war-torn West Darfur, are struggling to bury their dead as violence rages across the city.
Activists say 500 bodies across the city have been identified, and that they believe “thousands” more remain unburied on streets and inside homes.
Fighting erupted in mid-April between Sudan’s Armed Forces and its Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group.
Sudanese refugees gather as Doctors Without Borders (MSF) teams assist the war wounded from West Darfur, Sudan, in Adre hospital, Chad June 16, 2023.
MSF did not name the party responsible for the killing, but Kamal Al Din blamed the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) for the attacks on those fleeing.
