Since the beginning of the war, the town of Alkoma — under RSF control — has been bombed at least 150 times by the Sudanese military.

910 days in, civilians remain the primary victims (and often, targets) of this war.

No one cares about civilians.Today’s update is proof enough.

Hello, if the person speaks French, it might be profitable to try to contact Selma Sardouk (www.instagram.com/selmasardouk...) and la casaa_Montreuil (www.instagram.com/lacasaa_mont...). I know Selma worked on some initiative to provide mental health care in Gaza and occupied Palestine.

- In a stern statement, Elfashir Resistance Committees called on SAF/Joint Forces to mobilize units to break siege.

- "Elfashir cannot tolerate any more waiting [...] There is one solution: break the siege by force — & no voice rises above the voice of battle."

There are vile ppl in this world. Hala’s case is just one of many.

Another Sudanese survivor raising money to evacuate his family had over $3000 stolen from him by the person running his GFM (who then disappeared).
