Paramilitary forces shelled a famine-hit displacement camp in western Sudan for three straight days, killing more than 20 civilians and wounding 40 others, rescuers said on Monday.

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), locked in a brutal war with the Sudanese army since April 2023, hit Abu Shouk displacement camp near North Darfur's besieged capital El-Fasher with "artillery shelling and stray gunfire", the camp's emergency response room said in a statement.
