Al-Fashir: Altaghyeer
Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Saturday once again attacked Zamzam IDPs camp in al-Fashir, capital of North Darfur State, killing and injuring scores of civilians, General Coordination of Camps for the Displaced and Refugees said.
On Thursday the RSF attacked the camp, which is one of the biggest areas of gathering for the IDPs in the Sudan western region of Darfur, killing 15 and injuring 25, the Coordination said.
The RSF recent attacks have resulted in killing more than 30, including women and children, and injuring others, the Sudan's Doctors Network explained.
Shelling al-Fashir city using heavy artillery and attacking at the same time Zamzam camp represent 'a dangerous development in the RSF's pattern of violence which it has been resorting to for more than a year' said the Network's spokesperson Mohamed Faisal in a statement on Saturday.
Faisal said the concurrent shelling and killing of civilians is in its way to convert into genocide of more than 500,000 displaced people most of them women and children.
He said the humanitarian situation is increasingly complicated given shortage of medical supplies and first aid materials because healthcare assistance is delivered only via air dropping for more than a year now.

Khartoum cholera outbreak due to environmental degradation, minister
There are over 600 confirmed cases of cholera per week during the past four weeks, the health minister said, adding that this increase was expected because of prevailing poor environmental conditions. Khartoum: Altaghyeer Sudanese Minister for Health, Haytham Mohamed Ibrahim, has attributed the cholera outbreak in Khartoum state to environmental degradation following the army recapture of areas and the return of residents, particularly in Jebel Awlia and Salha quarters south and west of Khartoum respectively, with acute lack of clean drinking water and poor environmental conditions. The minister said in press statements on Saturday between 600 to 700 cholera cases were being confirmed weekly over the past couple of weeks, adding that this increase was expected given the spreading of poor environmental conditions. The minister praised the efforts exerted by Khartoum State government in collaboration with UN agencies and international organizations, resulting in the establishment of at least 8 cholera treatment centres and boosted disease control efforts. Cholera resurgence has also been reported in six other states including al-Gezira, central Sudan, where localities like al-Haj Abdullah took the drastic precautionary measure of closing down schools and markets places, according to news reports. Al-Taj Abdel Rahman, working at the city's main hospital, revealed that 46 cases and 6 deaths were reported over the past six days. The Health Minister has, however, stressed that the health situation was fully under continuous monitoring by the Federal Ministry of Health's Emergency Room, which works around the clock to implement the required measures. He confirmed that the upcoming cholera vaccination campaign will contribute to reducing the number of cases. The two year old war, between the Sudanese army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, has led to a catastrophic collapse of medical services coupled with the spread of diseases and threat of famine.
