Sudan's famine-hit Zamzam camp comes under fire

According to reporting by Reuters quoting residents and aid agency Medicine San Frontiers, the Zamzam displacement camp has been struck by shelling from the Rapid Support Forces as the paramilitary group looks to tighten control of the Darfur region in the country's war. In remarks to Reuters, the RSF denied attacking the camp, until now a haven from devastating fighting in the region, and instead accused the army-aligned Joint Forces fighters of deploying within the camp and using civilians as human shields. The army and the RSF have been locked in conflict for more than 18 months, creating an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in which more than 10 million people have been driven from their homes as U.N. agencies have struggled to deliver relief.
