Testimonies from survivors who arrived at displacement camps in the Chadian town of Tina, as reported by the Sudan Doctors Network, revealed that more than 200 people—including children, women, and men—were killed after being targeted and murdered on an ethnic basis in the areas of Um Buru, Serba, and Abu Qamra in North Darfur State, following attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). These acts constitute a flagrant violation of humanitarian and international laws.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the Sudan Doctors Network confirmed that these crimes have triggered large waves of displacement toward Chad as civilians flee armed attacks. Displaced persons and refugees are facing extremely dire humanitarian conditions, marked by severe shortages of food and safe drinking water, deteriorating health services, and the absence of adequate shelter—posing a serious threat to the lives of thousands, particularly children, women, and the elderly.
The Network warned that the continuation of these violations will push thousands more civilians into Chad in what could become the largest refugee movement the region has witnessed. It stressed that international silence and failure to take deterrent measures amount to indirect complicity in these humanitarian tragedies.
Sudan Doctors Network called for an immediate halt to the attacks to stop the displacement caused by mass killings, safe and unrestricted humanitarian access for medical and relief assistance, and urgent support for displaced persons and refugees.
